Come and explore environmental art with guest speakers Luminara Florescu and Elizabeth Woodger. You will have a chance to learn about and discuss their upcoming exhibitions, taking place in locations in Somerset. The Creative Network is for artists from all disciplines in Somerset to share ideas and their work.
Luminara; “My work as a disabled and neurodivergent artist is deeply rooted in my own lived experiences. I find inspiration in my journey and use it to motivate my artistic practice. One significant part of my artistic mission is to explore the concept of Resting, Slowing Down, and Doing Less as a powerful means to combat climate change. By questioning the societal norms of consumerism and hyper productivity, I aim to offer Rest as an antidote to these harmful practices. I also actively consider themes of wellbeing and self-care within my practice, specifically focusing on how artists with disabilities and caring responsibilities can maintain thriving and exciting art practices.”
Elizabeth; “As a former geologist with a PhD in palaeoclimatology, I’ve spent many years researching past greenhouse climates as a potential analogue for future, anthropogenic climate change. My remit then, was to study the subsurface milieu – the stratifications, organisms, processes and relationships – and now as an artist, I find myself doing exactly the same thing.”
