GROWING PASSION : FINDING PURPOSE IN ENVIRONMENTAL ART

​Paragraph 1

Scraps of food left on a cafeteria tray. Trash strewn alongside a city street. A wind-tossed plastic bag hung precariously on a tree limb. For Victoria Widener, it's more than just garbage. Each instance presents an opportunity to create art addressing urgent environmental issues.

​PARAGRAPH 2

"It's a chance to make art with a purpose," says Widener. "I would describe my work as somewhere in the realm of Eco Art," she continues.

PARAGRAPH 3

For as long as she can recall, Widener's passions for art and the environment have run deep, but these interests often grew parallel to one another. She initially pursued a major in biology, believing that science held the only key to her career goals. That was, however, until she took an introductory art course during her first semester.

PARAGRAPH 3 (CONTINUATION)

Through challenging, hands-on assignments and engaging class discussions, she rekindled her love of art and realised the power that the medium possessed as a tool for educating others. She soon switched her major to art with a concentration in sculpture. She also conducted a self-proposed minor in ecology, so she could better understand the environmental issues that she wished to tackle.

PARAGRAPH 4

With a reawakened sense of expression, Widener's dual passions would collide in a range of art projects addressing environmental concerns. Her first exploration into the field of 'Eco Art' took place in spring with a project titled 'The Beauty of Decomposition'. She built an acrylic compost tumbler and installed it outside the Fine Arts

​PARAGRAPH 4 (CONTINUATION)

She then collected organic waste and filled the tumbler, giving passers-by a glimpse of the naturally decomposing materials inside. At the end of the semester, she donated the compost for use in Camden's Children's Garden.

​PARAGRAPH 5

In one project, Widener collected leftovers from strangers in the cafeteria to be used in the construction of a 'food battery', charged by energy created as anaerobic bacteria break down the food. A performance piece, 'Are you done with that?', documented her collection of food scraps from unsuspecting strangers.

PARAGRAPH 6

Hoping to leave a lasting, sustainable art program for Camden youth, Widener co-created the Growing Minds project with fellow student, Kristie Anthony, as a way to provide introductory art and agriculture classes for Camden students.

​PARAGRAPH 6 (CONTINUATION)

The program will culminate in an instillation that features a hydroponic garden system, sustaining growing food plants, placed into a three-dimensional ceramic wall mural, composed of ceramic pieces created by Camden youth. "This project promotes art, education and sustainability, and will result in an artwork that will feed both minds and bellies in the Camden community," says Widener.

​Paragraph 7

Reflecting on her time at Rutgers-Camden, Widener is grateful for the many opportunities that she was given to express her creativity, both through her art and community service. As she embarks on new challenges, she has words of advice to impart to those who are not so sure about their future plans. "It's okay to be lost," she says, "as long as you keep your mind open, eventually you stumble into whatever it is that you are supposed to be doing."
