Mirabel Wigon: Earth Stars at Pence Gallery in Davis
Exhibit: July 10 – August 16, 2026
Reception: July 10, 6-9 PM (Free)
Mirabel Wigon’s Earth Stars features imagined and fantastical futures with flora as the main subject. Her paintings deconstruct and reconstruct plant forms to explore the intermingled and entangled relationships in the natural world. Her range of mediated source materials, including photogrammetry scans of botanical specimens, offers new ways of looking at our planetary cohabitants. Wigon uses augmented reality to reveal the 3D models made through photogrammetry, further entangling the viewer in the processes of the paintings’ construction. Her reflections of mediation and translation call for a future that values diversity, adaptation, and perseverance.
