Paper and Digital collage

Allie Ray Thaller, BFA F&V‘28 is a filmmaker/artist from Maine who works with multimedia to create multi-layered and playful artwork. A childhood is incomplete without nature and exploration. The imagination and wonder that nature evokes is essential for development, and learning. We forget to be

exposed to nature as we grow up, and get sucked into the digital realm more, and more. This piece is dedicated to my childhood in nature, and my longing to go back to a time before the internet. Our creativity is only fueled by exploration and learning, not endless media consumption. So in short, this springtime, GO TOUCH GRASS!
