About Stephanie Reid for HaikuFlash
the distance between human kind and the rest of the natural world began
with the first technology, written language.
That rift is growing as societies become more entrenched in technology.
In an effort to reconcile that divide, in my own life,
I explore ways to harmonize technology and nature through art.
