THE HOLLYWOOD FOREST STORY - ONGOING SINCE 2008: An eco-social art practice and doctoral research for forests and the art & ecology field
PhD by Practice: eBook and thesis 'Living Well with a Forest to articulate eco-social art practice using Guattari's Ecosophy and Action Research (2018)

Cathy Fitzgerald PhD | ecosocial artist | ecoliteracy educator | researcher

I explore new ideas and practices for ecosocial well being by bringing art and nonart practices together in my creative practice. I also offer Ecoliteracy learning, workshops, mentoring, writing and policy developments for the arts at https://haumea.ie _____________________________ Through my practice and an art practice-theory PhD "The Ecological Turn", I have developed a guiding theory-method framework to articulate the context and workings of long-term ecosocial art practices. These vital practices activate ecoliteracy and agency for environmental change in communities. Much of my PhD drew on my experiences and challenges, and the review of others' pioneering creative practices' that are responding to ecological concerns. My own transversal practice reflects on the transformation of the small conifer plantation that I live with, Hollywood forest, toward new-to-Ireland, Close-to-Nature forestry. I bring previous experience in biological science research and interests in environmental philosophy, policy development and ecocide-Rights of Nature law developments into the mix. _____________________________ Somehow an ecosocial art practice allows me to connect and move across these various strands of interest to create a new agency for myself and the human and non-human neighbours I depend on and live with. _____________________________ Hollywood forest is the smallest Close-to-Nature forest in Ireland; its growing happily near Mt Leinster and the Blackstairs mountains in South East Ireland.
