Jellyfish populations are on the rise due to rising ocean temperatures and acidification. Conversely, bees are on the decline due to pollution, pesticides, and parasites. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1387859018539-OQ23I5ETEJC4PJE9UH83/regan12.jpg Maelstrom - detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1387859251634-UXUTG65XZ2I4QYU84RPB/darkwatercloseupbig.jpg Maelstrom - detail https://www.reganrosburg.com/catharsis daily 0.75 2025-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1381031040967-GUDSMAKSGSVZ9A7ADV09/adjusted2.jpg Catharsis - catharsis 48 x 36", acrylic, oil, bird nest, resin, ink, ribbon, trash on panel, 2009 The piece, created by invitation to the “Manifest Hope: DC” exhibition to honor Barack Obama’s inauguration, signifies "home" built from rubble, strife, and sacrifice.

This installation is a response to the psychological need to grieve the deaths we are witnessing, and in so doing, acknowledging our ambivalence during this very unstable time. Symbolized by white mourning doves (released at funerals and memorial services) and manic blackberry brambles (an invasive species), this installation becomes a place of mourning, reflection, and rest. It allows for the safe self-refelection of our personal participation and contribution to both positive and negative aspects of our rapidly changing, collapsing world. The instalation is made of petroleum products, intentially pointing at our dependence on this ubiquitous material, as well as its critical implication into the onset of what is being called the Anthropocene Age.

The Relentless Memorial was first installed in a small gallery at the Lunder Art Center on the Lesley University Campus, in Cambridge, MA. The quiet aspect of the room perfectly situated the installed artpiece to fulfill its purpose: as an artwork that evoked a sensory experience, while alluding to ecological collapse and misplaced melancholic feelings. The artwork itself is a physical manifestation of my MFA thesis research on Environmental Melancholia and what I call "Collective Social Mania." I believe these two pathologies form two poles of a hedonic loop of capitalism, around which society endlessly orbits. My belief is that humans are overwhelmed by the obvious destruction of our environment, and are unable to mourn the countless, ceaseless deaths that result of the collapse (whether these deaths are real or abstract). Because of our inability to mourn, or have spaces to grieve, we turn to manic defense mechanisms in the form of denial, avoidance, frantic consumerism, and numbness. These defense mechanisms are manifesting in society as collective social mania, a pathology responsible for the unmanageable deterioration of our environment. Ironically, this mania is encouraged (as well as minimized or completely ignored) by advertisers. In short, we cannot stop ourselves. This installation is a response to the psychological need to grieve the deaths we are witnessing, and in so doing, acknowledging our ambivalence during this very unstable time. Symbolized by white mourning doves (released at funerals and memorial services) and manic blackberry brambles (an invasive species), this installation becomes a place of mourning, reflection, and rest. It allows for the safe self-refelection of our personal participation and contribution to both positive and negative aspects of our rapidly changing, collapsing world. The instalation is made of petroleum products, intentially pointing at our dependence on this ubiquitous material, as well as its critical implication into the onset of what is being called the Anthropocene Age.

A discussion with visual artists Regan Rosburg (www.reganrosburg.com) and Jennifer Jeannelle (www.jenniferjeannelle.com) will follow. The screening of this visionary film is a kick-off fundraising event bringing inspirational speakers and creative artist workshops to Littleton youth during Littleton High School's International Week in November 2018. Although the screening is free, any donations collected will support our effort to bring dynamic speakers and workshops to all students. Suggested donation of $5-20 per ticket is greatly appreciated. A cash bar and appetizers will be available at the event. ALBATROSS is a powerful visual journey into the heart of a gut-wrenching environmental tragedy. On Midway island, in the remote North Pacific Ocean, tens of thousands of Laysan albatross chicks lie dead on the ground, their bodies filled with plastic. ALBATROSS takes us on a journey through horror and grief, facing the shock of this tragedy and our own complicity head on. Internationally-acclaimed photographic artist Chris Jordan (www.chrisjordan.com), in his filmmaking debut, returned to Midway over many years with his team, documenting the cycles of life and death, and capturing stunning and intimate portraits of these magnificent seabirds.

It seems sad that, on the one hand, such exquisite creatures should live out their lives and exhibit their charms only in these wild, inhospitable regions. This consideration must surely tell us that all living things were not made of man. Many of them have no relation to him. Their happiness and enjoyment, their loves and hates, their struggles for existence, their vigorous life and early death would seem to be related to their own well being and perpetuation alone." -Alfred Russel Wallace, British Naturalist, Explorer, Geographer, Anthropologist, and Biologist. 1823-1913. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1474952813448-Q9ELWHAWWSM8UX0TL7DB/IMG_6629.JPG specific gravity https://www.reganrosburg.com/vanitas daily 0.75 2020-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1480190093792-QT8ACTOEZMM9B29VXCOE/Vanitas+V+full.jpg Vanitas - Vanitas V 29” x 31” x 5” Three-dimensional sculptural painting (paint, mylar, silk, foam, resin, wasp nest, wolf spider, lizard, bones, squirrel skulls) 2016 This piece is in the collection of Le Meridian Hotel in Denver, CO https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1480190093792-QT8ACTOEZMM9B29VXCOE/Vanitas+V+full.jpg Vanitas - Vanitas V 29” x 31” x 5” Three-dimensional sculptural painting (paint, mylar, silk, foam, resin, wasp nest, wolf spider, lizard, bones, squirrel skulls) 2016 This piece is in the collection of Le Meridian Hotel in Denver, CO https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1480190238841-MQNM013UU79NWPM69L99/Vanitas+V+detail.jpg Vanitas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1480189586017-769JY37RMSCD05ON3OLO/Vanitas+I+full.jpg Vanitas - Vanitas I 29” x 22” x 3” Three-dimensional sculptural painting (paint, mylar, silk, wood, resin, wasp nest, carpenter bee, bones, squirrel skulls) 2016   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1480189865940-7D8Y7X5WC8UK9G3CXRW5/Vanitas+I+side.jpg Vanitas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1480189779357-0KZSI2MEJSUOX98VXAHZ/IMG_3972.jpg Vanitas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1480190399785-M25ZRXZKYV13QHG2OMH6/Vanitas+II+full.jpg Vanitas - Vanitas II 27” x 22” x 3” Three-dimensional sculptural painting (paint, mylar, silk, wood, resin, wasp nest, bones, squirrel skulls) 2016   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1480190523012-GU7JF1218HX56YSTIJK7/Vanitas+II+side.jpg Vanitas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1480190677899-EYI9GFDX3J5I35ZJRVWT/Vanitas+II+detail.jpg Vanitas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1480190775375-ZOQ9A2RTH3P4JYL3UBOC/Vanitas+III+full+.jpg Vanitas - Vanitas III 23” x 27” x 4” Three-dimensional sculptural painting (paint, mylar, silk, wood, foam, resin, pheasant wings, wasp nests, squirrel skulls) 2016   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1480190851169-7853WQBEEBUO4M246Z66/Vanitas+III+full+.jpg Vanitas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1589579384225-2VVY3K9HF168OK6VPZC0/Vanitas+III+crop+.jpg Vanitas https://www.reganrosburg.com/omega daily 0.75 2023-09-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1505891588721-HHQGA4TSIK7K2CJSRUDU/omegafuckyeah.jpg omega https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1505891588721-HHQGA4TSIK7K2CJSRUDU/omegafuckyeah.jpg omega https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1695604017604-ZOD8VDERRDULSC4WPNMO/image-asset.jpeg omega https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1643075708126-X8ITWRP0OASNQ4NMGL7Y/image-asset.jpeg omega VIDEO about OMEGA An immersive installation of 87 million HDPE pellets, recycled and virgin plastic wings, resin, bones, skulls, wasp nests, paint, spiders, silk flowers, cicadas. 50 x 50 x 9 feet 2017 *Click the arrow to watch the video* https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1643075398193-IWHHSSJ7MMVI0QSHN16T/Omega28.jpg omega - Statement about the Work - 2017 Statement: Worldwide, human beings are buying 20,000 plastic bottles of water per second.[1] Like so many things today, the action of purchasing this object is a flabby reflex, born from cultural laziness and an un-checked allegiance to the marketed facade of “convenience.” Our baseline has shifted. We have forgotten the foresight of only a few generations ago, when leaving the house meant either waiting for water, drinking it from a fountain or restaurant, or carrying your own vessel -- filled from the tap. Today, the ubiquity of plastic is like a network of sinuous tendons that has woven itself into everything, hiding in plain sight. Omega sits in an ocean of 3.2 tons of pellets, with each pellet representing one bottle. The moment you set foot in the pellets, it represents all of the global bottle purchases that will be made in the next 73 minutes. Omega wedges itself between individual culpability and abstract statistics. A journey through the numbers must be made -- a veritable barefoot walk into the heart of darkness. I asked each viewer to relinquish not only their shoes and socks, but also their phones. Without the hindrance of technology, one can be fully present. I also requested that the viewer carry two tablespoons of pellets, equal to what the average American man, woman and child consumes in one year.[3] Unfortunately, less than half of all bottles are recycled.[4] **************************************************************************** [1] Laville, Sandra and Matthew Taylor.

(Image credit: Rosburg) **** A SHORT ESSAY about Omega by Regan Rosburg “The Interlocutors: Why Artists are Crucial in the Fight to Stop Climate Change” ***** After reading the artwork’s mission statement, a mother carefully removed her shoes and socks, and waited patiently for her teenage son to do the same. He did so between gazes at his phone -- completely absorbed with his handheld device. Per the rules of the installation, the mother put her phone away and opened her palm to receive the roughly two tablespoons of tiny black pellets she was instructed to carry into the exhibit. She looked at her son. “Put away your phone,” she said. Her son did not look up from the screen. The mother, exasperated, retrieved the phone from his hand and put it in her purse. “You buy a bottle of Gatorade every day,” she said. “Own your part.” Confused but captured, the young man opened his palm, received the pellets, and followed his mother into the vast warehouse. Far ahead of them, reaching up towards the light of three massive sunlit windows, loomed Omega. *** I created Omega from various forms of plastic. It spirals in structure, reaching up and outward like a post-apocalyptic tree covered in pitch. The majority of the sculpture consists of black plastic wings cast from taxidermized goose and pheasant. These wings twist, bend, and arch in a posture of both growth and deflation. Black morning glory vines climb from the base to the top, dripping with shiny black plastic ooze. Crawling around the work are the molted husks of cicadas, their backs split open and empty, their claws gripping the plastic “trunk” of the sculpture. In five places are pools of imagery and natural relics. Cupped by black wings, the painted images of grasses, seaweed pods, and flowers float in pools of solid clear resin. Fake meets real in each pool, where a 3-dimensionally painted jellyfish floats with bright red wasp nests. A coyote skull -- topped with a massive black wolf spider -- bisects another pool…its teeth jutting out from beneath. Children often see this skull first because it sits low to the ground. The base of the sculpture is made of thicker wings that were poured directly from a local recycling plant. Thick and spindly ropes of black plastic – the leftover purges from the massive machine – reach and crawl out from the base of the sculpture. They dive and scatter out into the space of surrounding pellets. Amongst the antlers, the flowers, the insects, and the dripping resin, a story unfolds that wraps back on itself like a mobia strip. Is this sculpture alive? Are the colorful pools full of newly adapted forms of growth? Are they proof of Life’s unstoppable potential to evolve from dead seas, oil-soaked beaches, and charred landscapes? Is it an uplifting sign of rebirth? Or a post-apocalyptic monument to the hubris of our species? Finally, there are the nurdles. Tiny virgin and recycled pellets, or “nurdles” as they are known in the industry, are the means of transporting plastic around the world so that it can be melted down into various products. They can often escape into the environment, threatening wildlife. I purposefully chose to use something this controversial because I wanted to make a point…. a rather colossal point. You see, the sculpture is sitting in three and a half tons of these little black pellets -- roughly eighty-seven million of them. If one black pellet represents one plastic bottle, then Omega is sitting in eighty-seven million metaphorical bottles. This is an abstract number and thus an abstract concept. It becomes significant when one enters the space holding in their hand 200 metaphorical bottles (the average for an Americanto purchase in one year). But when one’s foot touches the pellets in Omega, where eighty-seven million pellets only represent the number of bottles that will be purchased globally in the next seventy-three minutes, the experience moves past significant. It becomes undeniable. *** We are in the midst of overlapping, abstractly huge, relentless environmental deaths all around the world because of climate change. Every day we hear of more melting glaciers, rising seas, burning forests, extinguished species, and bleached coral. We also hear of doubt-seeding climate change deniers, or leaders who opt out of climate change treaties. All of this is damaging us. All are forms of death we cannot bury, and consequently cannot mourn. How does one have a funeral for habitat loss, let alone the death of our most treasured ideals and ethics? When we cannot mourn something (via ceremony, symbol, or symbolic act) we enter a state of melancholia. When that loss is related to the Earth, it is considered environmental melancholia. In 2017, I published a paper which argues that the melancholia, if left festering, will be overrun by an unconscious attempt to find another focus. A melancholic person can become manic…meaning they will shop, drink, smoke, over-work, watch tv, or dive deeper into their devices. I call this behavior collective social mania. Why is this so common, and yet so misunderstood? Think about it: we are all are encouraged to do this by advertisers, because a culture that is driven, encouraged, and addicted to consuming – and by that, I mean consuming everything: products, data, land, information, and entertainment -- is a culture that is numb, indebted, and controllable. In the paper, I argue that our environmental melancholia and collective social mania are connected in a loop, and the loop is destroying the planet. We are horrified and saddened by what we see, so we check out… we consume. The more we consume, the more strain we put on the planet. The more strain we put on the planet, the more climate change happens. And on…and on….and on. My argument is that in order to stop the cycle, we must allow ourselves to reconnect to our evolved, inherent affinity for other living beings on the planet, something that E.O. Wilson calls biophilia. When we love something, and it dies, we grieve its passing. We have a funeral. We burn a love letter. We release doves to symbolize a soul’s exit. Yet, with all of these simultaneous ecological “deaths” happening, how do we have a funeral? How do we break our gaze from our devices, and feel our surroundings again? How do have conversations about how painful it all is? How do we pause to reflect on our part in both the collapse, and the rebuilding? How do we allow ourselves to grieve this very unique and crucial time in the Earth’s history? *** The docent who volunteered at the gate of Omega was the one to tell me the story of the mother and son that day. The pair apparently wandered around in the artwork for a long time, whispering to each other about what they saw. There were evidently long, silent pauses as the young man made the connection between his seemingly uneventful Gatorade purchase and the pellets that both spilled from his hand and stuck to the sweat of his bare feet. How overwhelmed he must have felt. How angry, perhaps… or determined? Saddened? Fearful? Responsible? The amalgamation of all of these emotions is, in fact, the goal of Omega. If nothing else, the abstraction of numbers crystallizes into a tangible response…an emotion. With an artwork like this, the indisputable distance between one’s actions and one’s consequences dissolves. Distraction gives way to awareness, melancholia is replaced by mourning, and suddenly there is room for grief. The more that individuals can utilize artistic symbolism as a way of experiencing their grief (and thus, their love for what has been lost) the more authentically they can connect with themselves, and then move towards meaningful, pragmatic changes of behavior in the face of overwhelming collapse. The goal, if there is one, is not to solve the world’s problems, but to first get individuals to confess that they hurt at all. In the age of climate change, artists are not just helpful. We are crucial. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1520656288488-GP4N70SHZLPI3PUG8ZSC/OmegaAlpha2.jpg omega In the same room, towards the exit, was the counterpoint to Omega. Alpha contained every single piece of waste created in the making of Omega. All of it was sorted, bagged, and stacked in a museum vitrine opposite of Omega. The purpose of this work was to address the artist’s own culpability as a maker, as well as a person going through life, creating waste. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1520656454582-OWSZWR84GJH0PRPYAUDU/OmegaAlpha1.jpg omega https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1520657726151-S7I7N1DTC72TOWZBYK0X/IMG_0557.JPG omega The staff at HiTec collaborated with Regan for months to create the thirty recycled wings which appeared at the base of Omega, as well as in the pellets.

before these giants. and every place we worship and obsess over “things” should disappear. should disintegrate. could become something else. could become a new kind of church. a church of water. a church where Time is the minister – and the slow procession of heat guides the giants down the valley isle. a church where instead of bells we would have to hear the light tinkling of gas bubbles popping in the ice, or the swirling mix of voices from the Arctic Terns who arrive for the summer. a church where rows and rows of pews would stretch for miles, all facing these incredible behemoths of time. a church where we homo sapiens “wise ones” would know our place. a place that is small insignificant... precious. and we would sit quietly, reverently… waiting for nothing. wanting for nothing. just watching the slow icy sermon before us awareness that only comes from the lack of wanting and the gain of truly seeing.

different kind of navigation is needed. it cannot be held in the hand, swiped left to right, locking onto some unseen satellite. words will fail you. descriptions of the beauty and vastness sound like bumbling nonsense uttered by a child who has yet learned to speak. scale is futile because the magnificence of towering ice leviathans cannot be quantified. the enormity of Their bodies somehow surpass the very land They slowly crush, skidding to an unstoppable end in the sea. direction cannot be found from humble human instruments, and to attempt to navigate the Arctic in this way is antiquated and desperate. orientation, if it comes at all, wells up suddenly from deep inside the caverns of your heart, trapped in bubbles of a breath you did not know you were holding, tightly pressed into a history of which you did not know you were a part. and the history is shining cerulean blue, revealed slowly… backlit from an ancient and ever-present sun. these churches of water are the steadied hands of God gently rested on cold, dark soil; with eyes closed and palms down, They slowly feel the texture of the earth as They move past… reading the collective story like braille… urgently committing the story to memory for once They reach the sea, Their bodies give way – and the memories are forgotten.

distance of this icy heaven is a world that is winding to a feverous pitch. the orgiastic, sultry writhing of humanity’s consumption has left its sweaty stains on everything it touches. in slow rotation, bright lights are kept on as darkness falls. colors bleed into one another, and because of one another. our purpose is to forget, to feel less than, to desire more. our unvocalized and agreed-upon pursuit is to constantly empty ourselves, and yet loathe the emptiness. attention does not exist. it is constantly severed into pieces by alerts, desires, shiny bright packaging and carefully worded promises. if there is a slight pause that could be pregnant with a noble purpose, it is quickly aborted and swept away in a rogue wave of distraction. Mania. if there is a memory of one’s ancestry – the Earthian birthright that holds one’s place in a cacophony of evolved co-existence – it is sutured shut quickly by the sticky paste of consumer culture. do not allow the void to be there; the next moment holds a solution, wrapped in plastic for your protection. borderless water hides the influence of madness that lurks in towering cities of mania. the noise is deafening. they are growls of hunger that cannot – and will not – be satiated. as plastics drift to the basement of the coldest water world, so too the Giants slide into the water beside them. and as They slowly sink, Their collective bodies will rise, drowning the world in glorious unfrozen yet unchosen retribution.

It was not uncommon for me to suddenly feel one of my comrades gently place a piece of found plastic into my pocket. Over the two weeks at sea, whenever we made landfall, we gathered what we found — from small bits to large ghost nets. Eventually, we amassed eight huge bags of garbage, including an old television set. One of our last days at sea, I dragged the garbage onto land, piled it up, and documented it. Upon returning to the ship, I separated out the blue and green plastic, washed it, and shipped it back to the United States. It eventually became part of an installation, “Everything is Fine” that was exhibited at RedLine Contemporary Art Center as part of “Near in the Distance,” curated by Nicole Caruth (2020). In the words of a Mi’kmaq elder, we need “two eyes, seeing.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592346089538-GWWKP62G7SBIV7RNVECM/DSC_0216.jpeg Arctic Plastic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592346174715-EGZUJHZCN8N8JAOCWJ71/DSC_0225.jpg Arctic Plastic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592348203351-SI6CKVSADO0ERTKMD3W6/DSC_0227.jpg Arctic Plastic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592348203097-MO9927JFDTSSG83TOX72/DSC_0228.jpg Arctic Plastic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592348234250-W25IWE5P37215LZKK3D2/DSC_0236.jpg Arctic Plastic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592348222215-HP1CPY34Y3HF6N5X4IUR/DSC_0229.jpg Arctic Plastic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592442388025-0EPWUE7Z3PEJ2JJMWNYX/DSC_0455.jpeg Arctic Plastic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592444370971-TRVWG8KEWY2285SFLIWF/DSC_0460.jpeg Arctic Plastic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592442457961-P5U8QNLJ7L28LSM7ICIL/DSC_0468+2.jpeg Arctic Plastic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592442474583-EEJV1X8EYNNYPEX0KZDN/DSC_0475+2.jpeg Arctic Plastic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592348348405-8PN2C85BG3005KSGFHAP/DSC_0480.jpeg Arctic Plastic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592348247178-YYTE7JIWIK29JPHHN6LC/DSC_0464+2.jpeg Arctic Plastic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592346083581-514FJIJEEBK3HCGOOLFD/DSC_0091.jpg Arctic Plastic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592346083584-VOTF5C2WXZJGNMYVGLDX/DSC_0092.jpg Arctic Plastic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592348321555-LAS6A65YV7QN0WKUVNG1/DSC_0477+2.jpeg Arctic Plastic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592348427239-SWZIPPQG3805IBYOARYO/IMG_5249.jpeg Arctic Plastic https://static1.squarespace.com/static/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/5ee80da23e07327939a86eca/5ee80e3dfce0773072461d4b/1592266301261/ Arctic Plastic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592348276594-6C870GUWG1IV02J70X70/DSC_0465.jpeg Arctic Plastic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592345985940-3XGR8JM1LF291W4QHW70/a54925b7-5e5d-4e8c-b44b-1a533e4813a1.jpg Arctic Plastic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592348425248-OYPF88OS6ZQD6GOXPDH3/IMG_3083.jpg Arctic Plastic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592348375478-6N26B2NHLU3D2FGUQGP1/DSC_0518.jpeg Arctic Plastic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592348398527-RXS369A89890M8AS6AAN/DSC_0531.jpeg Arctic Plastic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592348434647-6SYHUL90QQLFZ0EYRP7L/IMG_5511.jpeg Arctic Plastic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592442511401-DX3I6UAY5XBA6Z6PX382/DSC_0513.jpeg Arctic Plastic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592348405664-OIA9SG0KXNCAX58OARM4/DSC_0535.jpeg Arctic Plastic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592348213995-XI26FU67LVGX5W3ORT0M/DSC_0232.jpeg Arctic Plastic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592348416496-Y9D05F7A4A9SNUV3QX3N/DSC_0543.jpeg Arctic Plastic https://www.reganrosburg.com/everything-is-fine daily 0.75 2024-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1723529529719-H7ADZOGE5BQ4NB6VUDX2/image-asset.jpeg Everything is Fine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1723529529719-H7ADZOGE5BQ4NB6VUDX2/image-asset.jpeg Everything is Fine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1723529458500-GNF5215IVMG79HK1FBA8/image-asset.jpeg Everything is Fine Everything is Fine Handwritten letters from around the world 2017 - ongoing Statement about the work: In 2017, I curated a massive exhibition centered around Ecopsychology called "Axis Mundi." As part of the exhibiton, I asked teenagers to write letters to adults expressing their innermost feelings about what was happening to the planet. The letters were strikingly honest. Two years later, I traveled to Svalbard with thirty other artists for the Arctic Circle Residency. The vast, expansive, pristine landscape of the Arctic affected each of us deeply. At the same time, we collected hundreds of pounds of garbage every time we made landfall. The inherent contradictions of the Arctic — felt by all of us — prompted me to expand the letter project to my comrades on the ship, and then expanded it even further to include gardeners, librarians, biologists, engineers, art historians, landscapers, and more. All wrote personal letters voicing concern, love, fear, anger, wonder, guilt, melancholy, and cautious optimism. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592966168892-37T2ZT8HKPETSW2NSHV1/fight+hard+let+go.jpg Everything is Fine Everything is Fine has been exhibited in various cities, including Chicago as part of the Human/Nature Exhibition with Weinberg-Newton Gallery and the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. This letter project is ongoing and expanding globally. Since its inception, the project has grown to over 500 letters -- and counting.In August of 2024, I returned to Svalbard to collect more letters from artists and scientists. Meanwhile, back in Colorado, middle and high schoolers added to the collection of voices. If you have something to say about our changing planet, I would like to hear from you. To contribute a letter, email me and I will give you my address. Letters must be handwritten; please, no emails or typed letters. Letters can be a rant, a lovely memory, a poem, a list, an image, or any other format. You can address the letter to the future, to your kids, to your grandkids, or no one at all. There is no right or wrong way to write this letter. Coming soon: the DEAR FUTURE GLOBAL LETTER ARCHIVE, an online letter submission process that connects people from around the world. Launch date: January 2025. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592966344372-B391LU1J1LOX0WPBPRFO/IMG_1887.jpg Everything is Fine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592966527717-21U7WM1GJN0WKW4RNZ9Q/IMG_1893.jpg Everything is Fine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592966529507-PN065UBTAUTXKH7TUF0W/IMG_1898.jpg Everything is Fine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592966966764-J7MFKFDO5GE1QVHFM37V/IMG_1935.jpg Everything is Fine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592966966070-COTBFJG81I8LLPDLL7FP/IMG_1937.jpg Everything is Fine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592967356784-FEUNHUO46NZS0HBONRTQ/IMG_1945.jpg Everything is Fine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592966968114-KAM1VBZ8RII1X46HTEFS/IMG_1938.jpg Everything is Fine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592967393706-LYGXNFCRC7X73MSEN27D/IMG_1955.jpg Everything is Fine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592967653582-R37FVQB9DZ0QYVKH2ZJW/Cropped+IMG_2422.jpg Everything is Fine In the early Spring of 2020, the work was installed at RedLine Contemporary Art Center, along with the ghost nets and plastic from the Arctic.

The contents are a tangled mess of plastic and what looks like a petroleum-based fabric, such as a dryer sheet. Dagmar Traenkle, an artist on the expedition, discusses her impression of the changes she witnessed upon her second visit to the archipelago. "My impression -- it seems that the rest of the world has arrived here in Svalbard, with all of its bad impact." At the end of the video, I show a timelapse of all of the plastic collected over two weeks placed at the foot of a glacier and documented. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1723535298281-ZTY6FHDWY8N08JU3BK7N/image-asset.jpeg Everything is Fine To learn more about my Arctic Plastic project, please visit the photography section of this website. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1592970254174-8M7TPI7SPMQWTRYOHM01/image-asset.jpeg Everything is Fine - Everything Is Fine - Deinstallation Part I https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1723533070715-NEK2IWH5HSRI7RVE1YAZ/image-asset.jpeg Everything is Fine - Everything Is Fine - Deinstallation Part II https://www.reganrosburg.com/ever-falling-forest daily 0.75 2022-01-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1602200073885-SI6JNUPZ34JZX5I3O557/04_September+18%2C+2020.jpg Ever-Falling Forest Ever Falling Forest Iron, hand-cut and laser-cut mylar, oil paint, hardware. 9 x 9 x 20 feet 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1602200073885-SI6JNUPZ34JZX5I3O557/04_September+18%2C+2020.jpg Ever-Falling Forest Ever Falling Forest Iron, hand-cut and laser-cut mylar, oil paint, hardware. 9 x 9 x 20 feet 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1602200094225-XGBD375C3N548H47VSD2/02_September+18%2C+2020.jpg Ever-Falling Forest Ever Falling Forest This work was created as part of a S*Park (Sustainability Park) Artist Residency (2020). SPark is a sustainable living community in Downtown Denver. The work is situated in a tall atrium that is partially exposed to the outdoors. Secured from an iron ring at the top, the majority of the work is hand-cut, with small amounts of laser-cut fringes. Around the inside is painted a flock of white doves. As the wind circulates through the atrium, the work gently sways, displaying playful shadows that mimic a forest. The work is a meditation on the fragility of our global forest network, and the complex web of life that exists therein. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1602200099892-RXROIUTFIGKIOCR3B60W/06_September+18%2C+2020.jpg Ever-Falling Forest - Ever Falling Forest Installation view from second floor https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1602200116115-YODMH9TX8MTEOWC1B10L/10_September+18%2C+2020.jpg Ever-Falling Forest https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1602200161197-3LC0S71QCM781OORDH61/10_September+18%2C+2020.jpg Ever-Falling Forest https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1602200160647-7590ZEMSCHK23MGN003V/11_September+18%2C+2020.jpg Ever-Falling Forest https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1602200164693-685ETSNHXJFHRIEQ9Q4X/12_September+18%2C+2020.jpg Ever-Falling Forest https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1602200165060-VN2TKWKJNO5SAZQZC515/14_September+18%2C+2020.jpg Ever-Falling Forest https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1602200172535-819MKVWIZI3QIWS8VMPH/15_September+18%2C+2020.jpg Ever-Falling Forest https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1602200173557-GSHH33HDJV6I1VDWHH4E/16_September+18%2C+2020.jpg Ever-Falling Forest https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1602200178490-B4AW2SFRV56TR5JJS7XR/17_September+18%2C+2020.jpg Ever-Falling Forest https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1602200181194-NFZ4QS39KGMM85JPGRPI/18_September+18%2C+2020.jpg Ever-Falling Forest https://www.reganrosburg.com/recollection daily 0.75 2022-01-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1643070025736-CO78545AD5D7TQ4ZWMBY/02_May+17%2C+2021.jpg Recollection “Recollection” Solo Exhibition, RedLine/S*Park Popup Space, Denver, CO, 2021 Works in this show: Monument dear future (film) Relics Everything is Fine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1643070025736-CO78545AD5D7TQ4ZWMBY/02_May+17%2C+2021.jpg Recollection “Recollection” Solo Exhibition, RedLine/S*Park Popup Space, Denver, CO, 2021 Works in this show: Monument dear future (film) Relics Everything is Fine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1625367115066-K59ZV8F3O5AW6C3X9FSY/03_May+17%2C+2021.jpg Recollection Recollection Solo Exhibition “In this exhibition, Regan Rosburg reflects on where humanity positions itself, literally and figuratively, in the spectrum of time on our planet. Recollection maintains a cautious optimism that the clues to surviving the climate crisis are present in the ancient species that are still with us today. In her previous work, Rosburg focused on the intersection of manmade and natural materials to prompt a grief response to both ecological losses and the destruction mankind has inflicted on the natural environment. This work departs from that melancholic space and into a place of careful observation, curiosity, and reverence. Above all, it points to the collective memory and intelligence accessible in the most durable and enduring of species. While the complex reality of our collective situation is still expressed with unflinching honesty, her new vantage point expands impartially outward along a continuum of past and future, seeing the marvel of evolution through an appreciative lens. She is thus hopeful — given the severity of our multifaceted crisis — we might choose guidance from our plant and animal ancestors who have been here for eons, holding infinite wisdom.” -Louise Martorano, Executive Director, RedLine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1625550510378-3U6PMPBR1MMGFNSNCFDX/IMG_8884.jpg Recollection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1643070490729-W1NEVQ6FHGJ421G1WGN2/01_May+17%2C+2021.jpg Recollection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1625550528053-QXMNC0RGEE4HWMGRXHAF/IMG_8890.jpg Recollection Everything is Fine 2019 Letters First exhibited in 2019, this letter project has since expanded to include over 200 voices. Guests are encouraged to reflect upon their relationship with the natural world and the impact of climate change, and then to write a letter, poem, thought, fear, hope, or whatever comes to mind.

Today’s orchid species are the resilient plant ancestors that survived the extinction of the dinosaurs nearly 65 million years ago! And rain is probably the most fascinating. The smell of rain (“petrichor”) is a chemical perfume cocktail consisting of ozone, plant compounds, and geosmin. Geosmin is created by soil bacteria, and it began producing this chemical to attract small animals for its spore reproduction…450 million years ago. Think about that… the smell of rain has wafted through the air on this planet, connecting to species for half a billion years. It is part of our collective ancestry […] to respond to that wonderful, cleansing smell. So I recreated the smell of petrichor to connect us to an ancient, evolved response shared by species all over the world.” -Regan Rosburg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1625367083047-PHHZSJ5W8V9N6NG6A0PN/26_May+17%2C+2021.jpg Recollection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1625367105462-JRZXEU9X3KV557UXJ661/27_May+17%2C+2021.jpg Recollection dear future video, duration 5 minutes plus 10-minute interlude of rainforest sound 2020 “Over three years, Rosburg gathered over 150 letters from students, artists, activists, scientists, biologists, children, teachers, and everyday people. Narrated by artist George Boorujy, among others, this film was created in response to these letters and how they reveal our close emotional relationship to the natural world…and what we stand to lose. dear future could be at any point along a continuum. Change is possible through a deep emotional connection to our planet first, followed by actions taken — big and small — by individuals, corporations, institutions, and governments.

Started by lightning, the temperature of the fire was so hot that it melted PVC pipes onto a bougainvillea plant. Rosburg felt that this combination of materials and circumstances was a fitting metaphor for the intersection of man and nature. The relics themselves have been collected by Rosburg for the past twenty years from different places around the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1625550414420-IW6759CXUFOCPBHUWUR2/07_May+17%2C+2021.jpg Recollection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1625550440428-EV510EKRTUP2WUHAMTSM/08_May+17%2C+2021.jpg Recollection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1625550481533-RFV3EFIA5DWACC5339EB/11_May+17%2C+2021.jpg Recollection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1625540654493-JDR257PEXHMRPPAJSAWR/IMG_8869+small.jpg Recollection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1625550466123-74T8RM2J2DHJRDA6UWV4/10_May+17%2C+2021.jpg Recollection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1625551441734-Y0JM4M6PQMKN5C9S8S5R/IMG_8735.jpg Recollection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1625551453973-O95TB411QSI5WO38VMBJ/IMG_8853.jpg Recollection https://www.reganrosburg.com/monument daily 0.75 2022-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1643064634325-GJ9B8BU7X2RB0CPN060Y/HumanNature_install_final_small.jpg Monument https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1643064634325-GJ9B8BU7X2RB0CPN060Y/HumanNature_install_final_small.jpg Monument https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1643064724572-GHZMA1L0PRM3Q1W4ERDF/Human-Nature-9_small.jpg Monument - Monument Moss, petrichor, recycled plastic, orchids. 15 x 15 x 9 feet The Human/Nature exhibition, in partnership with The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, shown here installed at Weinberg-Newton Gallery, Chicago.

From the curator, Cyndi Conn: “Humanity is at a critical crossroads—it is widely acknowledged that we must take immediate action or our planet will face irreversible climate catastrophe. The exhibition combines visual imagery and scientific interviews to explore our paths forward. What will the world look like if we do not reverse our current path? Alternatively, what will the future look like if we take action now?” Click HERE to learn more about the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. Click HERE to learn more about this piece.

The inspiration came from finding a small deceased barn owl outside my studio door (note the bird’s fuzzy talons in the painting). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1765082600117-QURYOKAIO1Y5VS1UD0X0/image-asset.jpeg bird migration and conservation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1765087614784-ARX9JTXUH29T1JNKP8AR/image-asset.jpeg bird migration and conservation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1765082731378-DC45OIGHCQ3QN9SS2M13/image-asset.jpeg bird migration and conservation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1765080755831-VFI2G4XDXFHNWRIGT639/image-asset.jpeg bird migration and conservation Another deceased bird that became an image reference study at the Oak Springs Garden Foundation residency, 2019.

Those two words allowed European settlers to wrap themselves in a comfortable cloak of entitlement as they stole land from native people and treated the landscape as a resource rather than a complex web of life. In less than two centuries, that initial doctrine of power has not only become the invisible minutia of the American muscle; it has also metastasized into a new geological age. As we arrive in the Anthropocene, the ideology of taking more than is needed has crippled the planet. Enough is an aspirational, necessary, and yet seemingly impossible word. Enough is the opposite of more, of mine, and of greed. Enough is an exasperated declaration cried out by all who have suffered under the weight of unsatiated consumption. ***** Part of Chromatic Cogitations group exhibition curated by Rosey Gordon Wallace, 2021 at RedLine Contemporary Art Center.

While it is meant to signal an idealistic return to a time of prosperity, the reality is much more complex and dark. HISTORY During the first “Gilded Age,” the US experienced massive upheaval. Wealthy businessmen — John D. Rockefeller, JP Morgan, Andrew Carnegie, Andrew Mellon, and others — were able to amass great wealth using exploitative business practices in their industries. In addition, they were ruthless in their treatment of the land — further perpetuating the caustic idea that man and nature are not only separate, but also that man has dominion over it (Manifest Destiny). The term “Gilded Age” came to be known in 1873 when Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner published their novel, The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today. Gilding is when a thin layer of gold is applied over a cheaper, less precious surface. Their novel was a critique of wealth accumulation and exploitative practices, highlighting the fake aristocracy that barely covered the criminal behavior hiding just below the surface. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1762746645760-2JZQWUE7ZMLI017OXZRA/Untitled-2smaller.jpg new work: the gilded age Image: LAND GRAB, 2025 CURRENT EVENTS Ironically, and as if made for TV, the leader of the US has once again been promoting this ideology. Decisions have, quite literally, metastasized the same ever-widening wealth gap and natural resource extraction that embodied the first Gilded Age. Now, however, the stakes are higher: climate change is upon us, mass migration due to conflict and dwindling resources is becoming a political reality, and ecosystems are collapsing. In 2025, the gilding has taken the form of corporations (AI, surveillance, tech, extraction, pharmaceuticals) showing incomprehensible profits — pushing them further away from the reality that the rest of the globe faces. In the original Gilded Age, the “robber barons” (wealthy elites) gave back in the form of philanthropy. However, today’s elites enjoy the collective social mania Guy Debord warned of in his 1967 book, Society of the Spectacle. The dichotomy between the humble, fragile wonders of nature and the gilded, gawdy, distraction-extraction culture has never been more glaring. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1772909791023-V4PVHDQ5PESA24BG26FZ/Untitled-3+smaller.jpg new work: the gilded age Image: THE WAY IS THE WAY, 2026 MY WORK Many pieces in this body of work utilize the same gilded baroque embellishments found all over the current White House. Most of these embellishments were purchased at my local Home Depot, and the “gilded” look was re-created with presumably the same method: a can of $8 spray paint. The works also encorporate natural elements, such as stumps found on the land where I grew up in Colorado, sawdust from a local sawmill, moss, and the smell of petrichor. These elements represent the relentless evolution of life on earth, as well as its ability to erase the past. For SO RICH, the embellishments are fastened to dumpsters and closed storefronts. For LAND GRAB, they have been photographed while hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1772908688568-1J5J6KVG3WLV2T6GBS65/detail+of+moss+3.jpg new work: the gilded age https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1772908695833-RL87C77UBPPHT5KJZVHX/detail+of+moss+2.jpg new work: the gilded age https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1772908627037-HEFKMLCWAUJRW1OC1YO0/detail+of+moss.jpg new work: the gilded age https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1772910913443-5NM651YXCKF70ICYX3EI/FRONT+cropped+med+EIF.jpg new work: the gilded age https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1772910551124-2A45G2VVJ7P1C3C3YDN3/cropped+med+EIF.jpg new work: the gilded age https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1772911309017-DPXW9B0A543O1SSYLBGT/FRONT+cropped+detail+EIF.jpg new work: the gilded age https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1772911439628-MLYUION1WGEIZVJ3JAQU/FRONT+cropped+detail+EIF+2.jpg new work: the gilded age https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1762736720526-KUF8NPDM03Z7KQA3FEVV/Untitled-4smaller.jpg new work: the gilded age https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1762736673691-UQTN6UFGR2OU1SPVA29E/untitled_6+smaller.jpg new work: the gilded age https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1772907340093-VCS7TUQVJFSQWST8GKYG/image-asset.jpeg new work: the gilded age https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1762736693004-10SW09QRTJU9MH0ZSHH6/Untitled-1+smaller.jpg new work: the gilded age https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1762746630180-O15Z2YLITCS4DE0CS4BM/Untitled-2smaller.jpg new work: the gilded age https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1762746981716-X6MOEBAZ1GFZPBRTZ9HR/Untitled-3+smaller.jpg new work: the gilded age https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1762738730622-K3ELXGAJP9NA2AZ3U2HT/asking+for+it.jpg new work: the gilded age Manifest Destiny Plastic, spray paint, glue, American flag, flag pole. 84 × 24 × 90 inches 2025 According to US flag code, the flag has many rules. In practice, they are more suggestions and traditions; they are not enforced by law. Even flag burning is protected under the First Amendment, as ruled in 1990 by the US Supreme Court (due, in part, to the pivotal work by the artist Dread Scott). The flag represents a “living country” and thus is considered a “living thing.” Sometimes, it is treated with utter respect and dignity. Other times, we hardly notice it being used to sell hot dogs, toilet paper, and beer — all of which are against flag code. The flag means patriotism to some, and patriotic betrayal to others. It means hope and possibility to some, and corporate greed to others. It means freedom to some, and oppression, genocide, and hypocrisy to others. I created this work considering the paradox of “patriotism” that the flag embodies, seeing it as both a personified main character and a simultaneous bystander throughout its history. Respectfully, I did not want to harm, tear, or burn this flag. I did, however, create an uncomfortable situation. This work points to the historic vein of entitlement that has — in the new Gilded Age — grown even more gruesomely vulgar. The original title of this work was When You’re a Star, They Let You Do It. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1762736740737-2DO11MB3FDP8ZERVN3S9/Untitled-5+smaller.jpg new work: the gilded age https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1762742408958-IJLHQZYF3ECDFRD9IEA1/flag+on+white+background.jpg new work: the gilded age https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1762749275423-6FA8LF3T8WYN830FKZW2/asking+for+it+3.jpg new work: the gilded age https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1762738777273-EMCHS33J50XW0UEXX34D/asking+for+it+2.jpg new work: the gilded age https://www.reganrosburg.com/cayo-artist-residency daily 0.75 2024-02-18 https://www.reganrosburg.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1381165271919-83HJVGM6T3NP3EDEY2NJ/1001445_10151487772191987_1291406467_n.jpg Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/73eac14d-ea57-4fe8-ab8a-809fab2261f0/97D0DDFB-B208-4C56-B3ED-285FD56F4D42.JPG Contact Detail of monument, installed at the Harris School of Public Policy, University of Chicago. 2022. https://www.reganrosburg.com/axis-mundi-and-omega daily 0.75 2024-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1518306580974-1N9B90OKKJD090YWILDD/Installation11.jpg axis mundi Installation View at PlatteForum Gallery, Temple Arts Building, Denver, CO, 2017. https://www.reganrosburg.com/press daily 0.75 2025-02-10 https://www.reganrosburg.com/cvandbio daily 0.75 2025-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/5aea4cbd-3470-4a97-8073-121ddf9c3863/arctic+portrait.jpg CV and Bio Rosburg documenting a glacier in Svalbard, Norway (Arctic Circle Residency), 2019. https://www.reganrosburg.com/portfolio-professional-and-student daily 0.75 2020-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524cd452e4b0bf732ffee0f9/1602795698861-GQT1PB33ZE8ORVGHXVOP/05_Rosburg_October+08%2C+2020.jpg Portfolio Nucleus (detail).
