Description: | This series of works explore ideas of renewal and decay. We are presented with oval shaped paintings; works that mirror the size of our faces, whilst challenging the traditions of portraiture. Heads are replaced with a variety of leaves, each bearing antromorphic qualities I contributed a written chapter 'Air Heads' for the Antennae Journal of Nature in Visual Culture. In addition to my essay, my paintings were used for the front and back cover of this issue. Antennae (founded in 2006) is the international, peer reviewed, academic journal on the subject of nature in contemporary art. Its format and contents are inspired by the concepts of ‘knowledge transfer’ and ‘widening participation’. Three times a year, the Journal brings academic knowledge within a broader arena, one including practitioners and a readership that may not regularly engage in academic discussion. Ultimately, Antennae encourages communication and crossovers of knowledge amongst artists, scientists, scholars, activists, curators, and students. In January 2009, the establishment of Antennae’s Senior Academic Board, Advisory Board, and Network of Global Contributors has afrmed the journal as an indispensable research tool for the subject of environmental and nature studies. |
