Concept for Paradise Lost - Ice:
Responding to the local, national and international news on climate change, these works echo the ongoing challenges of violent climate change. The ‘Ice’ image is from an international news source showing unprecedented cold; the ground and tree frozen in space.
The longing for peace and protection in a volatile world echoes the myths of Eden and Paradise. Enclosed, safe, plentiful. In 2021 all these notions are under siege. A world of violent change has reached breaking point where the climate holds no guarantees
