Wake Up Genius Species
"Wake Up Genius Species", a joint show featuring New Jersey artists Timothy Simmons and Maria Sinatra, asked viewers to analyze one simple question: what is important to them?
Whether their answer is family, the environment, self care, or social justice issues, "Wake Up Genius Species" encourages viewers to take a step back, think critically, and welcome the varying viewpoints of others. "Wake Up Genius Species" experiments with work in different mediums and scale in an effort to provide viewers with ever changing ways to look at these core issues effecting all of humanity.
Maria's work in the show explored the nature of extinction through 19 handmade 3D anaglyphs of extinct and endangered flora.
The show was sponsored by ARTS by the People and was on view at County College of Morris from January to February 2022.
