Mixed Media artist, Marissa Shell will be participating in Tangle Roots, an annual exhibition at InterUrban ArtHouse in Overland Park. Her 3D installation addresses climate change in context of her American and Filipino heritage and alludes to the affects a warming climate will have in the Asia-Pacific region and other emerging countries. In her work she encourages her students and audiences in the greater Kansas City area to develop a greater appreciation for the natural world, and focuses our attention on the changing landscape. Funding through an Inspiration Grant will provide support to purchase various supplies used to complete the project, and for professional documentation of the finished work.
