Eloisa Guanlao: Darwin’s Finches
Eloisa Guanlao: Darwin’s Finches
The College of Southern Nevada, School of Arts & Letters, and Department of Fine Arts will host an ecologically-minded exhibition by San Diego, California-based artist and educator Eloisa Guanlao.
Eloisa Guanlao was born in the Philippines. Her experiences as an immigrant and nomadic scholar-artist influence her versatile art practice and critical inquiries. Guanlao’s interest in the natural world, history, art, languages and literature began at an early age. Referring to her work, Eloisa states, “As an artist and ecologically minded humanist, I am interested in performing history and historiography through visual means, giving careful consideration to the materials I use. Concerns about the unexamined expansion of technology and the unrestrained use of natural resources inform my art practice and historical inquiry.”
