MEMBER SPOTLIGHT • Erica Hellen

“Conventional finance (and agricultural finance in particular) is often built on a deeply extractive model that places nearly all the risk on borrowers. Yet the people growing our food face enormous risks outside their control, from droughts and floods to rising temperatures and other climate-related challenges. We know that many conventional food production systems degrade ecosystems, exploit workers, and contribute to poor health outcomes. If we want to build a different food system, capital providers have to be willing to share some of the risk that comes with creating it.”

About the exhibit
 
“No witchcraft, no enemy action had silenced the rebirth of new life in this stricken world. The people had done it themselves.”

Rachel Carson, Silent Spring
 
“Mt Saint Cabbage” is a concept that is simultaneously ominous and optimistic. Building on our previous works we explore a fascination and fraught relationship with nature and question our effect on the earth as humans. The insidious amount of waste and pollution generated in consumer culture humbles us as we push back against the relentless bombardment and challenge that over consumption creates in our world. We are continually recycling, foraging, growing food and artist materials, in an effort to leave a smaller footprint. However, there is an ever present system surrounding us that challenges our efforts to heal and regenerate the soil and spaces around us. In our work we engage in fantasies of remediation and connection to ecosystems, and how we interact with nature.
