This exhibition is inspired by the series of children’s books “I Am Wild” and Charley Harper’s related artwork about biodiversity. Visitors will explore the desert, rainforest, ocean, sky, woods and city, each filled with colorful animals, insects, and birds depicted in the minimal realistic style Harper perfected throughout his lifetime. By encouraging multidisciplinary exploration, visitors will build an appreciation for the interdependency of our environment and the creatures that live in it, as well as see ways they can express their feelings about nature in Charley’s world – a fun place that brings them joy and encourages creativity.
