这组持续进行的作品概括了我与自然大地之间的情缘，通过科学和艺术两个镜头尝试了解我们生活的世界。我们习惯性地生活在自己创造的文化范畴中。但现实生活已经被新冠疫情打破了、暂停了。

这组作品中，我用扫描下来、调整之后、重新组合的图像，创造出拥有多种来源的丰富层次。大自然和城市里的物品，结合记号、照片、数字媒体，生成了一种诗意的语言，生成系统和沟通系统相互连接，构筑出新的语句。

我在最新作品里，使用了来自自然的材料：处于转变过程中的云母和矿物质，晶体结构作为玻璃的自然形态在闪亮的薄片中生长。我还利用了美国国家航空航天局全球气候变化网站上的图像，把它们融入种子、矿物质的扫描图片中。用这种方式我想强调，由人类引起的气候变暖和它所带来的迫在眉睫的危险，以及之后可能会发生的改变，因为目前我们最基本的沟通方式已被改变、打破。

Artist | Aline Mare 

This ongoing body of work synthesizes my own history with natural cycles of the earth, married to a very human attempt to understand our world through the two lenses of science and art. We live in a cultural sphere where we are attuned to the world we have created. But that reality has been fractured during this Covid -19 suspended moment. 

My body of work is an amalgam of images that are scanned, altered and recombined to create a rich layering of sources. Biological and urban objects are fused with mark making, photo sources, and digital media to generate a poetic language where systems of generation and communication are linked to form a new syntax. 

My newest work uses images of natural materials: mica and minerals in the processes of transformation-- crystal structures as a natural form of glass growing in thin shimmering plates. I have also been utilizing images made available through the NASA Global Climate Change website and integrating them with scans of seeds and minerals, in order to emphasize the human induced warmings of the climate system, referring to the imminence of these dangers and the possibilities of changes ahead, as our basic forms of communication shift and are shattered. 

Aline Mare completed undergraduate work at SUNY Buffalo’s Center for Media Studies and an MFA from San Francisco Art Institute, where she produced the film Saline’s Solution, a series of installations and performances that dealt with abortion from a feminist point of view, which garnered support and awards internationally, exhibiting at The Cinematheque in SF, The Whitney Museum and the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. 

She keeps expanding her work, concentrating on mixed media and installation, exploring the body and metaphors of nature and its transformative relationship to the human psyche and the state of our planet. Her work is included in several private collections in the Bay Area, New York City, China, and Los Angeles.
