Marceau Verdiere is a French-born, California-based artist whose work explored the emotional and aesthetic resonance of the passage of time. For over two decades, his practice —Abstract oil painting and photography—has focused on memory, impermanence, and the quiet beatu found in worn and weathered surfaces. Living textures of his surroundings and the emotional traces they carry. In addition Verdiere has been influenced by his extensive travels around the world and the humans and artists he encounters. In Japan, he began to engage with and study traditional Japanese transience.

This exhibition emerges from our individual and collaborative explorations of resilience and regeneration. Through sculpture, mixed media, and works on paper, we document and interpret the cycles of renewal witnessed in our natural world and in traditional cultural practices. These collaborations are rooted in place and in conversation, and emerge during our visit to landscapes marked by fire, water, and ancestral significance.

The inspiration for this exhibition began with witnessing seasons of wildfire in ancestral lands, particularly Ironside Mountain (Tse:nding), a sacred site of profound cultural importance to the Tsnungwe people. This is a mountain where, as elders said, "you could go when you were old and come back young again." After wildfire swept the mountain, we were drawn there to document the damage and the following years to witness the first green shoots emerging in a blackened landscape. These moments sparked our creative response to the question: how does the land renew itself? And how do traditions, ceremonies, and communities also participate in renewal?
