My work aligns with the environmental Eco- Art movement by looking into art that addresses environmental issues; from the aesthetics to the ethical. I explore the ‘techno-utopian idea’ of recreating life artificially through bioengineering and new technology, through the photographic series showing the cultivation of seeds from the remaining and endangered flora. For the degree …
David Buckland led the 2001 Cape FareWell Expedition to Svalbard; scientists, educators, artists, explorers and creatives came together to explore new lines of research and work alongside to create interdisciplinary work based on scientific research to shift the perception of climate change and garter the attention of a larger audience. He created his own artistic …

Seagrass meadows were once common around the U.K. coast, but more than 90 percent have been lost as a result of algae-boosting pollution, anchor damage, and port and marina building. The meadows, however, store carbon 35 times faster than tropical rainforests and harbor up to 40 times more marine life than seabeds without grass, facts …
Indonesia’s rainforests are rapidly disappearing. Habitat loss is a major threat to its residents: the Sumatra tigers, rhinos, orangutans and elephants. Can activism make a difference in securing a better future for humans and our fellow creatures? Although ongoing campaigns by NGOs, activists and consumers to fight deforestation in Indonesia have led to sustainability commitments …
Ice Receding/Books Reseeding emphasizes the necessity of communal effort and scientific knowledge to deal with the complex issues of climate disruption and watershed restoration by releasing seed-laden ephemeral ice sculptures into rivers. I work with stream ecologists, biologists, and botanists to ascertain the best seeds for each specific riparian zone. When an ecosystem is restored …
Ice Watch Olafur Elliasson, born in 1967, is a Danish- Icelandic sculptor and installation artist who focuses on the human experience involving elemental materials to comment upon the anthropogenic era. Ice Watch (2015) by Elliasson consists of 12 ice bergs that broke off from the Greenland ice sheet. The blocks are arranged in a circular …
The panels of progression creates a clear line of narrative with the obstruction of the foreground becoming a clearer frame showing the content of the glass house.The 4 frames become a picture board to show the effects of the appreciation and intrigue of nature. Oct 19, 2020
Don’t Tap the Glass, you’ll disturb their slumber. Though, they won’t stir, that press has effect. Not that anyone will know The wait of that touch extends beyond your memory- the trauma of the tactility, scars and broken bones. The consideration not of the being. …
‘Human-driven and natural loss of trees —deforestation— affects wildlife, ecosystems, weather patterns, and even the climate.’ – National Geographic Deforestation – Decrease Carbon Absorption – Increase in Greenhouse Gasses – Global Warming – Glacial Melting This is a series of photographs taken through out the experiment of ice melting over flora images printed onto sugar paper. The experimental process …
To visualise life before the climate crisis we would need to adapt our current life style, live sustainably and accommodate biodiversity. With the rate of deforestation and population growth, anthropogenic exhaustion of the worlds natural resources and production of greenhouse gasses will be the cause of the 6th mass extinction. We are on the precipice …
Vatnajökull (the sound of) 2007–08 A live phone line was created to an Icelandic glacier, via an underwater microphone submerged in Jökulsárlón lagoon, an outlet of Vatnajökull. The number 07757001122 could be called from any telephone in the world, and the listener would hear the sound of the glacier melting. Oct 1, 2020
I am going to use ice and water to manipulate prints. The unknown outcome will represent how a controlled environment, e.g rainforest management, deforestation and agricultural maintenance, has uncontrolled effects and outcomes. The use of ice will relate to glacial melting, hopefully by bleeding the ink from the original print onto watercolour paper, causing an …
Entrapment | Controlled Environment | Heat | Carbon Cycle Botanical Gardens are dedicated to the protection, collection, cultivation and display of national and international plants. The alternative areas of the botanical gardens are representations of different climates; displaying species of flora within emulations of their natural habitats, for example within the differing greenhouses. …
Study Plan Points of Interest: Unperceived Existence Climate Change Unobserved Worlds Deforestation Sensation vs Reality Quantum Worlds Bundle Theory “If a tree falls in a forest and no-one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” The definition of sound is hearable noise. The tree will make a sound, even if nobody …
