About Stephanie Reid for HaikuFlash

As elucidated in The Spell of the Sensuous, by David Abram,
the distance between human kind and the rest of the natural world began with the first technology, written language. That rift has been growing as societies have become more entrenched in technology.
In an effort to reconcile that divide, I explore ways to use technology and nature together to create art.
