Profile

I am a visual artist developing projects that are based on art and science collaboration in relation to climate change. My research and exhibitions that have taken place include texts, symposia and art/science projects ranging from the local River Dyfi in Mid Wales to the remote arid regions of Southern Ethiopia. The intentions of the art/science collaborations stems from an interest in landscape evolution, human impact on the environment and recognition of the need to communicate climate change research to a wider audience.
