The essence of these pieces came from watching the David Attenborough series Planet Earth. The images were stunningly beautiful and it wasn’t a preachy documentary about doom and gloom or the end of everything. It was about the beauty and magic of our planet and how nature was adapting to a changing climate…it’s happening, sadly too slowly for some of the more delicate plants and animals. It was mind blowing to see just how some species are changing through generations in order to survive, whether it’s developing an extra toe to hang on to plants during a hurricane or to grow a bigger leaf to soak up more sun. Nature finds a way.

The message is basic, we need these precious resources for survival, respect and protect them before its our survival that is in jeopardy.

I wanted these pieces to represent the beauty and wonder of our environment, the figure is incorporated and blended into each ‘landscape’ as a part of the landscape because I think we are a product of our environment. Each depends now on the other for survival. I also wanted the art to be a reminder of our impact on each element that we rely so heavily on for health and happiness.

Every movement in nature is orderly, one thing the outcome of another, a matter of constructive, growth force. We live our lives in tune with nature when we are happy, but all our misery is the result of our effort to dictate against it.

-Robert Henri (The Art Spirit)
