Past, Present, Future
Artist, Sam Heydt, constructs collages that share a warning about our consumerist society. She sees little hope in the past, present or future. Her work underscores that while developed countries like the USA continue on a supposed path of progress, we are blithely disregarding the havoc that we wreak on one another and on the planet.

"In a time marked by mass extinction, product fetishism, diminishing resources, and patented seeds, we find ourselves in a world exploited beyond use, a world increasingly reduced to a bottom line. Concerns for which are drowned out by the white noise of the media and the empty promises it proposes for the future it truncates." S. Heydt
Through collage, the artist layers images from the past and present merging generations of possibilities, and offers a glimpse of what the future may hold if we are not able to think past the bottom line.
