Preserving the Biosphere
Each of my projects provide a mixed-media experience that uses material means to consider notions of conservation in the natural Biopshere environment:
- The first Composite Gravestones, considers a sustainable solution to over-populated cemeteries through biodegradable grave memorials giving the land-site greater longevity.
- Future Fossils, is an interactive journey and Augmented Reality App that guides the user through the Biosphere – telling the story of our future if our materialistic and wasteful consumption continues.
- A Living Souvenir, provides an alternative solution to the waste created by tourism on the environment.
My work explores both the physical and digital forms of exploration through making. I am fascinated with wildlife conservation and sustainability, which has driven my primarily digital practice.
