About the Book
The genesis of Stephanie Kolpy’s exhibition, Nearing Singularity, is rooted in this very quandary. In her series of largescale monoprints, the works collectively address a web of interconnected forces that threaten our natural world: the environmental impacts of global warfare, natural disasters induced by climate change, and most profoundly, the soul-numbing disconnection that our capitalistic world has created between ourselves and the heartbeat of the earth. Seismic in their portentous messaging, Kolpy’s works are beautiful in the way that photographs of the atomic bomb are beautiful — they mesmerize as much as they terrify. They demand an answer from their viewers to the question: where exactly is the tipping point when it comes to the preservation of our natural world? Or more startlingly, have we in fact already crossed it?
