No Stone Unturned

No Stone Unturned is the first exhibition at Diablo Rosso by the US-born, Panama-based artist Donna Conlon. Conlon’s background in science greatly informs her work across a variety of art mediums. She scours her environment for useless, worthless items, which she then uses to paint a subtle portrait of a consumer culture whose ecological impacts are hidden in plain sight, should we only observe the world more astutely. Conlon may not call herself an activist, but she aspires to stimulate an awakening, a collective enlightenment, as to our species’ precarious status. Her practice unites biology and art, archaeology and anthropology.
