“When we are asked to look closely like this, the mundane is elevated to a different layer of consciousness, as if in showing the world better, or in close up, it's somehow more beautiful; a lot more beautiful. In this way, the process of looking becomes a profound engagement with beauty itself.”
Karen Lloyd, Abundance: Nature in Recovery

“As I imagine the stink of the oil that the birds and their rescuers endured, I begin to think about the photograph differently. Because to act to save birds and other species from ruination caused by humans is not only a profound sense of engagement with our imagination but illustrates that human agency is also the dynamic of repair. And I know which version of humanity I prefer.”
Karen Lloyd, Abundance: Nature in Recovery

“In the book, Newcomb questions whether she sees the world or the world the artists sees. From this, I think about how artists and poets allow the rest of us to become reacquainted with the familiar; how in each new response, they reinvent the world for us. I think above all, this is a form of generosity because it helps us to see differently.”
Karen Lloyd, Abundance: Nature in Recovery
