From Westcave Outdoor Discovery Center:
“Loss of our world’s biodiversity is happening at a startlingly fast rate.
Whitsett offers viewers encounters with biodiversity through her representations of our rarest and most at-risk species- who obviously have no means of advocating for themselves. It is an exhibit centered on the experience of empathy while deep diving into the world of the truly uncommon.
Encounters with Biodiversity showcases the color palettes of Texas’ 73
state-listed endangered species and features 18 original designs from her Biodiversity of Texas series.
Each palette & species is unique. Whitsett has sampled colors from crowdsourced images of Texas listed species to create original art inspired by their lives and forms.
Activation and conversation are key to this work. Whitsett invites all viewers to collaborate with her by actively engaging with the collection and answering these questions.”
