Meridel Rubenstein

Award-winning American artist, Meridel Rubenstein (b.1948, Detroit) began her professional career in the early 1970s, evolving from photographer of single photographic images to an artist of extended works, multi-media installations, and social practice. Throughout her career, she has created photographic artworks that engage the natural world and investigate humanity's place within nature. Eden Turned on Its Side explores ecological and human processes across time that either reinforce or destroy the notion of 'Eden'. Focusing on poetic intersections of nature and culture in relation to ecological and social imbalance, the work consists of large-scale photographic images that tend toward immersive installation, as is characteristic of much of Rubenstein's art.
