“Streaming: Sculpture by Christy Rupp” (Friday, Jan. 19, through April 27) at the Fairfield University Art Museum’s Walsh Gallery, offers a retrospective of one of the early pioneers in the field of ecological art activism.
The exhibit offers a survey of Rupp’s intricate collages, wall installations and free-standing sculpture, which explore the ongoing tension between natural systems and an environment in transition and call our attention to our interconnectedness with animals and their habitats.
Informed by science and natural history, the artwork in this exhibit considers the way we frame our view of the natural world and thus our effect on it.
