Lee Stanton: Lost Words
Opening Reception: Friday, November 7, 2025, 5-8pm
This series is a response to the subtle erasure of the natural world from our shared language. The removal of words like "acorn,” "dandelion," and “raven" from children's dictionaries is more than a linguistic update; it is a symptom of a growing disconnect from the environment. These once-common words, replaced by tech words like "broadband" and "bullet-point", represent a wealth of lived experience and ecological knowledge that is being forgotten.
Language has the power to both define and connect us to our surroundings. This series urges us to pause, look, and remember the words that anchor us to the living world. The work aims to reclaim and celebrate these words and to encourage a deeper appreciation for the environment and a more mindful engagement with the world around us.
