perspectives. to look through. to see clearly.
art. skill acquired by experience, study, observation. the conscious use of skill and creative imagination (not necessarilly) in the production of aesthetic objects.
ecology. a branch of science concerned with the interrelationship of organisms and their environments.
It's a personal perspective, through the eyes and experiences of me, the artist. The art is the result of interaction with and observation of the communities who live in the Central West - in an environment that is both harsh and beautiful. The interrelationship between these communities and their environments, both natural and man-made is complex and complicated. The sharing of our natural resources is a vexed process, but the need to do it more sustainably is becoming more urgent. For me, Perspectives. Art. Ecology. is an opportunity to take stock of our relationship with the environment and determine what is valued enough to preserve for our future.
ReplyDeleteThe perspectives differ, the complexity of the issues is great, but the emotions are often similar - and highly charged. There are few who don't have any opinion. Some of the comments posted on the Coming of Age Project blog are proving to highlight this well. http://comingofageproject.blogspot.com.
