The three main conceptual strains that I explore are: metaphors of nature in relation to culture, cultural forms of framing and displaying nature, and how our concept of nature informs our construction of identity. Through my work, I reference cultural modes of representing nature such as botanical illustrations, flora fabric patterns, curiosity cabinets, scientific field notes, as well as natural history styled dioramas and panoramas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"asset-img-link\" onclick=\"window.open( this.href, '_blank', 'width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0' ); return false\" href=\"https:\/\/balzerdesigns.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d8341c766153ef0192ab46dc1b970d-popup\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d8341c766153ef0192ab46dc1b970d\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"Bubble installation view\" alt=\"Bubble installation view\" src=\"https:\/\/balzerdesigns.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d8341c766153ef0192ab46dc1b970d-500wi\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>She studied art at the University of California,Santa Cruz where she received her Bachelor of Art (B.A.) with honors in Visual Art and in an independent major entitled \u201cVisual Theory and Museum Studies,\u201d and did a semester at the Sierra Institute studying Nature Philosophies and Religions while camping in the California wilderness.
