Cathy Fitzgerald

I explore new ideas and practices for eco-social well being by bringing art and non-art practices together in my creative practice. _____________________________ Undertaking an art practice-theory PhD in recent years, I have developed a guiding theory-method framework for those involved in understanding the value and potential of long-term eco-social art practices that are embedded 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 eco-social art practice allows me to connect and move across these various strands of interest to create 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 Blackstair mountains in South East Ireland.

Every late afternoon our night rider friend comes out from under our eaves; s/he actually flutters and moves fast, and is tiny, but I filmed him circling above Hollywood forest pond just now in slow motion #bats #carlow #forests #ireland #continuouscoverforestry
