Best Piece of Creative Work


Natural Instinct


Natural Instinct is a piece of work I created as a part of my HSC Major Work in Visual Arts. The work encompasses ‘environmental art’ which covers a range of ecological concerns but is not specific to them. Through these works I propose a change in the conception and experience of relations between nature and the human. I want the audience to be involved in a re-engagement with nature that goes beyond traditional representations, to an active connection with the living cycles of nature. These are works with a perspective, which are not concerned with viewing nature from afar but rather by engaging with it directly through our senses. Like many other environmental artists, I am aiming to enlighten and interpret nature and its processes, or educate the viewer about environmental problems. Through my work I hope to re-ignite humanities relationship with nature, propositioning new ways for us to unite with our environment and to reconcile damaged ecosystems, restoring the natural world in artistic and often beautiful ways.
