On view at the gallery at Mountain Shadows, AZ, USA. Curated by @cccolelab šššš¦šŖ²šŖ³Insects are going extinct 8x faster than mammals, birds, and reptiles. No insects means no pollination, no crops, and no food for countless animals that keep ecosystems alive.
The good news? Small choices in our daily lives can help protect our ecosystems.

On view now at The Gallery @mountainshadowsaz in Arizona through May 2025, Rob Carter creates multidisciplinary artworks examining biochemistry and environmental sciences. He received his BFA from The Ruskin School of Art at Oxford University and an MFA in Studio Art from Hunter College in New York. He lives and works in Flint, MI and teaches at University of Michigan-Flint. Robās extensive national and international exhibition record includes numerous residences and fellowship awards. With his Soy Drawings series Carter documents the growth and movement of two soybean plants over the course of several days. Time-lapse photography also captures the actions of the artist, seen entering the space every 15 minutes to chart movement using an analogue methodology first employed by Charles Darwin in the 1870s. This approximation of movement is rendered digitally and by hand, showing the results from three angles and forming lines as if drawn by the plants themselves. @get_robcarter
