RESEARCHING online.
I came across artist Gwyneth Scally and an interesting article on her by Gabriel Del Valle below, I found this inspiring as I have been considering my own approach in possibly using ideas for a sculpture or an installation work in the project that would provoke and communicate the need to connect with nature and what our response should be as part of a consumer technological society that is increasingly dissconnected from the natural world.
Scally said her work is deeply rooted in the fight between humanity and nature. More specifically, she spoke about the fight that we, as a culture, engage in within ourselves of connecting with nature while having no idea what nature truly is in today’s day and age.
, we have lost the meaning of what it is to genuinely experience nature.
“The need to recreate nature is what my art is about,” Scally said.
Her works show a consistent mixture of nature or wildness and modern structures or constructs. Her art is eminently visual and thought provoking.
Her work is advocating for reconnecting to the natural world while making sure the future generations have one to reconnect to.
