ECOPHILIA: SYMBIOSIS ON MORETON ISLAND
Collection of Work
Acrylic paint, coloured pencil, digital media, sculpture
Ecophilia: the closeness and positive coexistence between human beings and nature My body of work is inspired by the deep connection I felt with the shipwrecks at Moreton Island. The carefully placed shipwrecks and conservation efforts have allowed a thriving reef and stable ecosystem to develop, demonstrating how harmony with nature is possible. These wrecks show how humans can interact positively with nature, forming an ecophilic relationship in contrast to humanity having its usual detrimental effect. The intention of my work is to represent different perspectives of the wrecks, conveying how they are unified by their undeniable beauty.
My artmaking practice has been influenced by the study and interpretation of the following artists: Anne Strambi, Leigh Eaton, Nic Human, Jason Descaires Taylor.
