(BLOOMINGTON, MN) MARCH 2025 – Artistry and the Minnesota Wildlife Refuge are proud to present Badges by Cameron Zebrun. Our interpretation of the natural world can be seen through many different lenses: an emotional response to a sunset, a map bringing order to the random or giving direction to the lost. Nature can be seen as a symbol of spiritual power or a force that must be conquered. With the Badges series, Zebrun investigates landscapes through the shifting themes of history, science, romance and exploration, as well as the textures, patterns, and color of land, water and sky. Using the images of a camera shutter closing, the Badges Series tells many stories all informed by nature through multiple lenses of interpretation.
