Faunwood’s “The Lost Field Guide” at Nucleus Portland.
Currently on view at Nucleus Portland in Portland, Oregon is artist Faunwood’s solo exhibition, “The Lost Field Guide.”
Miranda Zimmerman, also known as Faunwood, uses inspiration from nature and her background in science to create intricate and dreamlike creatures. Her work invites the viewer to explore a world where the lines between science and fantasy are blurred (with plenty of video-game inspired cuteness along the way)!
“The Lost Field Guide” is a collection of fantasy creatures and places inspired by the natural world around us. While beautiful, resilient, and colorful, our planet Earth can also be ruthless and unforgiving. Still, even the darkest trenches and harshest chemicals can sustain an abundance of life! These pieces are informed by the incredible diversity we see in nature (given that we continue to take care of it), and offer a fictional interpretation of the biological illustrations from previous generations.
