I am drawn to gathering places of worship and natural sites of metaphysical power. My connection has been the investigation of humanity’s offerings and the patterns created in these sacred spaces.”

“Skinner’s work has a depth of layers that matches her need to allow a work to be beautiful, as well as spiritual.” — Art Reveal Magazine

Artist Catherine Eaton Skinner’s work centers on the balance of opposites and the systems and patterns we construct to give order to our world. Of this current body of work, “The natural world holds an immense, intrinsic energy—an ancient equilibrium that sustains life. The historical reverence for this power and the recognition of earth’s sacredness spans the timeline of humanity's memory. Yet, in today’s turbulent world, personal, political, and spiritual upheaval often leaves us feeling unmoored, making a sense of balance and control increasingly elusive. Staying connected—to nature, each other, and ourselves—has never felt more challenging. Through my work, I explore these connections, hoping to deepen our bond with the environment and, above all, our understanding of one another.”

Her latest solo exhibition, “The Earth is the Magnet of the Sky,” opens at the Step Up Gallery in Los Alamos, New Mexico, on June 13.

Skinner divides her time between her studios in Santa Fe and Seattle and works in multidisciplinary media: painting, encaustic, photography, printmaking, and sculpture. Play and experimentation are integral to her artistic process, leading her to engage with a multiplicity of materials and methods. Across these many mediums, Skinner’s work deftly demonstrates her core fascination: the natural world and its elemental archetypes.

Skinner speaks on her life’s work, “The five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and ether—run like a red thread through my practice, shaping my artistic language. Observing these five elements—sometimes from a macro level, sometimes micro—and how they interact allows me to explore new patterns and representations. These elements take shape conceptually through various materials: beeswax, resin, graphite, oil stick, stone, glass, lead sheeting, precious metal leaf, textiles, wood, natural materials, found objects, old book pages, and a variety of papers.”

Skinner is captivated by the traces we leave as living beings: fabric remnants, prayer flags, cairns, food offerings, paper objects, and even animal scratchings. They speak to the universal desire for belonging in the greater chaos around us. She says, “I am drawn to gathering places of worship and natural sites of metaphysical power. My connection has been the investigation of humanity’s offerings and the patterns created in these sacred spaces.” Her practice of mark-making and repeating primal forms acts as a dissolution of herself into the universal whole, both spiritually and artistically. “At its core,” Skinner says, “my practice is an act of optimism.”

Ze względu na różnice w cenach surowce wtórne przegrywają z pierwotnymi. To powoduje problemy branży recyklingowej

Rozporządzenie PPWR stawia ambitne cele w zakresie wykorzystania recyklatów w poszczególnych rodzajach opakowań. To będzie oznaczało wzrost popytu na materiały wtórne pochodzące z recyklingu. Obecnie problemy branży recyklingu mogą spowodować, że popyt będzie zaspokajany głównie przez import. Dziś do dobrowolnego wykorzystania recyklatów nie zachęcają przede wszystkim ceny – surowiec pierwotny można kupić taniej niż ten z recyklingu.

Przemysł spożywczy

Rośnie presja konkurencyjna na unijne rolnictwo. Bez rekompensat sytuacja rolników może się pogarszać

Rolnictwo i żywność, w tym rybołówstwo, są sektorami strategicznymi dla UE. System rolno-spożywczy, oparty na jednolitym rynku europejskim, wytwarza ponad 900 mld euro wartości dodanej. Jego konkurencyjność stoi jednak przed wieloma wyzwaniami – to przede wszystkim eksport z Ukrainy i niedługo także z krajów Mercosur, a także presja związana z oczekiwaniami konsumentów i Zielonym Ładem. Bez rekompensat rolnikom może być trudno tym wyzwaniom sprostać.

Transport

Infrastruktury ładowania elektryków przybywa w szybkim tempie. Inwestorzy jednak napotykają szereg barier

Liczba punktów ładowania samochodów elektrycznych wynosi dziś ok. 10 tys., a tempo wzrostu wynosi ok. 50 proc. r/r. Dynamika ta przez wiele miesięcy była wyższa niż wyniki samego rynku samochodów elektrycznych, na które w poprzednim roku wpływało zawieszenie rządowych dopłat do zakupu elektryka. Pierwszy kwartał br. zamknął się 22-proc. wzrostem liczby rejestracji w ujęciu rocznym, ale kwiecień przyniósł już wyraźne odbicie – o 100 proc.
