An art installation of trees, debris, leaves on the ground in front of a wall drawings of wreckage and debris in an art gallery in Houston.

On display Jan. 16 through April 19 at Art League Houston, 1953 Montrose Boulevard in Houston. Artist talk Jan. 17 at 2 p.m.

This multimedia exhibition about climate grief and the environmental crisis was created by Hollis Hammonds, associate professor in the Visualization program; and Austin-based poet Sasha West. The artists combine image and text into multimedia installations and exhibitions, combining sound with sculptural installation, video with drawings and words with images.

Hammonds’ drawings reflect the melancholy and darkness manifested in West’s poems, asking viewers to reexamine the impact of elements when those elements are fed by human actions. West’s poems connect to the landscapes of ruin in Hammonds’ drawing, questioning our culture’s belief in limitless growth. They invite viewers to see their own daily part in making the physical world and the future of landscapes.
