Whiting Tennis’s Wilderness Painting is an erratic and enveloping collage that confronts viewers with the destructive relationship between humans and natural world. Viewing the work from bottom to top, one can see these pieces of man-made creations gradually disintegrate into chaotic wilderness. The large scale of the collage presents an overwhelming feeling that our impact on the natural world is fleeting. Tennis provides a sense of irony to this scene stating, “humans need to organize and clean and be dry and well-fed, and nature just comes down and goes ‘Awchhh.’”
