About the Exhibit
Using plastic resins, found objects, and various casting and carving techniques, artist Markus Baenziger invents floridly beautiful flora that often merge with or emerge from technological debris. Field Guide, Baenziger’s first exhibition at Haverford College, maps his ecologies of cultured waste and natural hybridity, inviting viewers to reconsider the troubles and wonders of our contemporary landscape.
