Nature Cult

For more than a decade, Donald Moffett has developed NATURE CULT, a sprawling project that examines humanity's relationship with the natural world during an era of ecological crisis. This body of work features a variety of paintings, sculptures, and installations, including pierced and carved panels, whose intricate shapes recall organic forms, and vibrantly colored birdhouses—melancholic tributes to the biodiversity threatened by widespread governmental and industrial inaction. NATURE CULT reflects Moffett’s understanding of how painting and sculpture can address environmental consciousness without resorting to literal representation, instead creating spaces where material investigations become a form of ecological meditation. These works exemplify his ability to create art that functions simultaneously as an aesthetic object and carrier of urgent contemporary meaning.
