Artist Website
Alyssa Dennis is an interdisciplinary artist, earth activist, educator & clinical herbalist. Her art practice centers on conventional forms of building and the convenience that keeps us compartmentalized within a dangerously abstracted relationship with nature and our own bodies. The imagery she creates explores the impact of manufactured landscapes on our internal and external ecosystems, shaping our existence with non-human life and, ultimately, ourselves.
