Faith Nelson
My practice aims to tackle the problem of plant blindness. Nature is an idea created by culture and nature is an idea embedded in language. Its very term presupposes that we are outside of it and therefore is anthropocentric. We are nature and nature ‘is’. Our lives are a process of nature.
My work typical starts as a mixed media concept and develops in to an installation piece that questions people’s position on nature. Working directly with plants, my work is often time limited and has an element of transformation.
