Exploring Sacred Connections with Annabelle Keyes In this interview, we talked with Annabelle Keyes an interdisciplinary artist whose work transcends conventional boundaries. With a focus on site-responsive, practice-based research, she explores the sacred intersections between nature and humanity. Her art invites us to reflect on the often-overlooked connections between our environment, our emotions, and the metaphysical realms that shape our understanding of the world. Through an intricate blend of ecology, ethnography, mysticism, and romance, Annabelle's practice is a compelling exploration of the imperfect symmetry that exists within our physical and spiritual landscapes. https://lnkd.in/duDwTXab

Redefining Spaces - Architecture, Ecology, and Art with Christie Swallow In this interview, we talk with Christie Swallow a textile artist whose work delves into the rich intersection of ecology, architectural design, and the philosophy of care. Their practice challenges traditional views by blending ecological thought with architectural principles, advocating for a compassionate approach to the materials and environments we engage with. Swallow's exploration of textiles as a medium offers a poignant critique of modern extractivist practices and invites us to reimagine our interactions with the world through a lens of ecological care and historical awareness. https://lnkd.in/dUKfaMGG

Power-With Nature with Chloe Parsons Chloe Parsons is an innovative eco-sensual artist who intricately weaves the interconnectedness of environmental care and embodiment awareness into her practice. Her journey from the confines of traditional sin doctrine to a profound appreciation of body-based wisdom and spirituality is mirrored in her artistic endeavors. Through watercolor and floral collage, Parsons collaborates with natural elements, embracing the beauty of imperfection and the vitality of ecosystems. Her work challenges conventions, advocating for a "power-with" rather than "power-over" relationship with nature, and celebrates the intricate web of life that supports and sustains us all. https://lnkd.in/dnAxzspg

In a world increasingly defined by ecological crisis and anthropocentrism, artist Meichen invites us to envision a radical future through her thought-provoking ceramic sculptures. Born in 1998 in China and now based in London, Meichen employs her artistic practice as a medium for world-building, crafting narratives that challenge our perceptions of humanity's role within the ecosphere. Her work features mutant living beings that thrive amidst the ruins of human habitats, serving as a poignant critique of our ongoing exploitation of natural resources and the marginalization of non-human species. https://lnkd.in/dka6fgSW
