InLiquid presents an exhibition featuring artist members Gina Michaels and Amie Potsic, who utilize printmaking and photography to highlight intrinsic relationships between society and the natural environment. While Michaels’ work explores the structural and emotional relationships between humans and plants, Potsic is driven by her interest in environmental and climate change issues, creating work that addresses cultural, personal, and natural phenomena through the lens of social responsibility.
