Tania Dibbs is a contemporary artist with an interest in our changing relationship to the idea of nature. Nature often symbolizes something greater than ourselves, and as such can be called a "metanarrative." Jean-François Lyotard, a French philosopher who greatly influenced late modern art, defined postmodernism as “incredulity towards metanarratives.” Tania's art embraces beauty and argues that shared, universal truths give us meaning, purpose and social cohesion, thus rejecting postmodernity's skepticism towards overarching themes, many of which are a natural component of the human experience.
