Dr Ata Tara, a registered landscape architect and academic, explores the intricate relationships between people, culture, and the land. Utilizing geospatial mapping and design tools, he transforms technical data into compelling visual art, offering fresh perspectives on environmental and cultural connections. His work, influenced by his Iranian heritage, employs vibrant colors, resin, and laser cutting to reveal the complex ties between place and identity.
As Ata describes:
“Geoart is a way to bridge technical knowledge with emotional depth, encouraging dialogue on how we, as humans, relate to the land and the impacts we have on it. My goal is to promote greater understanding and collaboration in response to global environmental issues.”
The opening reception is scheduled for Thursday, January 16, from 5–7 pm.
