Sculptor Karen LaMonte gives shape and weight to subjects as amorphous as female identity and stratospheric phenomenon. With her cloud sculptures cast in marble and iron, she brings the consequential weight of climate change down to earth with a unique, material honesty.

But manifesting the weather is not the most complicated thing the Prague-based, multidisciplinary artist has done. She did something even more complex during COVID, which she hopes will be a model other artists can follow. She made her international artistic practice carbon negative.

Happy Earth Day, 2021.
