Through my own growing realisation due to a personal experience of disconnection from nature i believe this project is the start of an ongoing enquiry and visual dialogue into how the modern industrialised societies disconnection from nature is causing symptoms of modern malaise both in the individual and culture…through being informed via research I have aquired a growing understanding of the cause and affects. Also gaining inspiration from artists writers, poets, and qoutes from the likes of Einstien, Merton,Wiliams etc….
My research continues…on the human condition concerning mans alienation from nature and a need to reconnect with nature…this information confirms a growing realization and the need to reconnect an article by Richard Louv states there are 5 causes of nature deficit
URBANIZATION WITHOUT NATURE the disappearence of biodiversity
A CULTURE OF FEAR-media amplified fear of strangers
SILICON FAITH- te chnology now dominates every aspect of our lives
CULTURAL DEVALUING OF NATURE Much of society does not see time spent in nature as enrichment
POST_APOCOLYPTIC VIEW OF THE FUTURE-nature is seen as a problem…needs to be a vision nature is a hope for future generations.
