Participating Artist

1. Edgar Cardenas spent his childhood in Brodhead, WI playing in the woods between neighbors’ homes and catching snakes along the Sugar River. He completed his Ph.D. in Sustainability at Arizona State University which included a significant MFA component. To date, he’s the only student in his doctoral program to have his work contain both a photography exhibit and a dissertation. A large portion of the latter was on naturalist Aldo Leopold whom he had never heard of until grad school – despite their homes being just 45 minutes apart. Edgar authored the book Between Two Pines, on the need to intersect art and science for addressing our sustainability challenges. He works very slowly and has a tough time knowing when a project is complete, which makes all his projects long-term projects. Additionally, he suffers from a touch of imposter syndrome. Edgar lives in Detroit with his partner (Sandra), son (Abi), and their 3 dogs (Noodles, Rubble, and Tornado).
