Long Live the Weeds & the Wilderness features a selection of works from local artist Candace Jensen’s numerous ongoing series, all of which feature the decorated and written word in service to themes of animism, deep ecology, interdependence, and earth-sacredness.

Her A New Scripture series are hand decorated and illuminated published books which center deep ecology and scientific methodologies that decenter human supremacy.

The Gaia Illuminations feature poetry, essay and illegible language in organic illumination compositions, which centre deep ecological orientation and blurred subjectivity, inviting human consciousness to blend and comingle with animate others. They are an experiment in lifting up animistic perspective to the level of holy texts.
