" I created this Series conflicted by new ways of rebranding economic extraction under environmentally friendly labels such as genetic modifications, green and blue technologies. It attends less to the human perspective than natures possibility. Our planet has been dramatically modified through human interventions, so I also wanted to express these profound changes, imagining the possibility of transforming ourselves by walking side by side with nature and not in opposition. Is it that even a possibility? 

​

There is uncertainty in the air around what type of planet we imagine ourselves inhabiting in the near future. In mainstream representations, this either gives us an image of the world which is to be romantically preserved or one that is catastrophically fated by cataclysmic events to come. 
 

We know that this world is itself now a brutal victim of planetary annihilation, suffering from what the philosopher and critical activist Adrian Parr has called the "wrath of capitalism". 

And yet we also know that those ecological conditions so integral to the human condition represent so much more than the audit of science. We live, breathe, feel and find ourselves aesthetically immersed, often in awe, with the unrivalled beauty and the generosity of natures ecological wonders.

​

And so whilst we might need the science to provide us with a warning about the devastating effects of worldly pollution and toxicity, and continue to work against a certain political denial, the climate is nevertheless changing (albeit at an accelerated and alarmingly unpredictable rate) and in the processes redesigning the ecological conditions for habitation.

At this critical juncture in human history, with humans themselves now seen as the greatest source of planetary change (what is new referred to as the age of the Anthropocene), we desperately need to find reasons to believe in this world. This is not to deny that ecologies change.

​

Exploring alternative visions through various range of colours in my pallet, from ochres to deep purples and dynamic movements, I begin to imagine whether we could allow unpolluted ecologies to thrive, to let them continue to present their own story of colours. Through out this Visceral Ecologies Series I wanted to allow myself to imagine the possibility of such a condition."
