This exhibition engages with ecological thinking as foundational to renewed symbiotic relationships with nature, affirming the interconnectedness of life and all living things. This approach seeks to counter the pervasive pessimism of eco-anxiety and solastalgia, feelings of loss associated with negative environmental changes that have already occurred.
Artists work with diverse materials, including textiles and leather, paint and photography; turmeric, fungi and beeswax, to create multi-sensory works that invite emotive and multifaceted understandings of ourselves as enmeshed within complex biodiversity.
