Portions of pieces from the Reframing the Landscape exhibition by Lanny Devuono and Yoshitomo Saito.

Reframing the Landscape: Lanny DeVuono and Yoshitomo Saito

August 21 – October 7 | Emmanuel Art Gallery

For millennia the landscape of the West has inspired, overwhelmed, provided for, and taken from the people who have lived here. Lanny DeVuono and Yoshitomo Saito delve into aspects of the power of nature from very different perspectives, one a macrocosm and the other a microcosm. Yoshitomo Saito and Lanny DeVuono invite us to explore the landscape around us. Their art challenges us and asks us to consider our roles in conservation and land use—what impact do our actions have, physically and intangibly?
