Danza has a deep appreciation for the feelings of wonder and awe that come from being in nature. She tries to capture this experience with her immersive paintings, while also paying homage to the complex, overlapping ecological relationships of her subjects. Ripples: Pollination explores a revolving habitat space with interactions that repeat, but may also evolve. Pollination is an interaction key to the survival of many species. Plants have evolved to attract certain pollinators, exemplified here by monkeyflowers and shooting stars. Shooting star flowers produce no nectar, attracting only pollen-loving bees who shake pollen from the anthers through buzz pollination. In contrast, seep monkeyflowers are often pollinated by bees but produce nectar and have shapes and colors that also attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Based on studies of monkeyflowers, hummingbird-pollinated plants evolved from insect-pollinated ancestors. In this habitat space the bumblebee is busy with a foothill shooting star while a hummingbird visits the seep monkeyflower. This type of interaction is the mechanism of change in nature, the type of interaction that can ripple through a population and cause a plant to change character. The monkey flower also acts as host plant to a visiting gray buckeye butterfly and caterpillar, while polypody ferns share the damp, shaded environment and provide cover for a pacific chorus frog, lying in wait for an insect meal. The complexity of these small interactions and the spaces they create provide the backdrop to our daily musings but also the existence we sometimes take for granted. Danza hopes that viewers take a bit of that ineffable feeling of well being that comes from awe and wonder with them and that it brings them a bit closer to each other and the natural world we are all a part of.
