In Your Element
The Bite

Photo by Tom Servais
Hiking boots clash with your outfit? Stick with your Miu Miu flats, and enjoy nature through a new exhibit by two artists who get their hands dirty while capturing the beauty of the outdoors. World-renowned surf photographer
Tom Servais's limited-edition photo series, el·e·men·tal, takes us inside a Tavarua Island wave in Fiji (a view we'd never see otherwise, thanks to our sad surfing skills).
William Stranger's collection of furniture - benches, stools, and tables - bring in a different element with his unusual designs made from discarded wood. Deborah Guyer Greene, owner of the show's venue, epOxybOx, is dedicated to greening fine art, and has curated this one by printing Servais's images on bamboo paper and using
FSC-certified frames. Just the thing for roughing it in your element.
