Post-human nature

“Together at Last”(Japanese mineral pigments and plastic on mulberry paper), by Yuko Oda, in her show “Decaying into Bloom,’’ at the Brodigan Gallery at Groton School, Groton, Mass., through May 10.

The Tokyo-born artist writes that she creates "works on paper and sculpture that explore a speculative, post-human future, where organisms self-destruct, adapt, and intertwine." This series of symbiotically connected bugs and plants explores "our perceived superiority over nature. Within these works, I invent moments where plants and animals mutate or hybridize." Oda also likened her work to her own experiences growing up as an immigrant "oscillating between [the] cultures" of Tokyo and Manila.’’
