PhD by Practice – The Ecological Turn: Living Well with forests to explain eco-social art practices

I'm delighted to announce that this week I was conferred with a PhD by Practice in Visual Culture at the National College of Art and Design at a ceremony at University College Dublin. There are so, so many people to thank and I'm delighted to start to share some of my practice and research, FINALLY!…Read more PhD by Practice – The Ecological Turn: Living Well with forests to explain eco-social art practices

I explore new ideas and practices for eco-social well being by bringing art and non-art practices together in my creative practice. I also offer Ecoliteracy learning for the arts at www.haumea.site _____________________________ 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 eco-social 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 eco-social 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.

Happy New Year everyone! For the New Year, I'm thinking about building a course teaching creative people how to develop impactful environmental art practices through ecoliteracy (ecological knowledge). Do you know someone who might be interested? #ecoliteracy #art #ecology #ecosocialartpractice #onlinecourse #learnatyourownpace
Lovely to spend time with Susann and Martin today in Dublin with my PhD finally bound and printed ‘The Ecological Turn’! Hard to believe it’s finally done!! Susann knew me when I began my undergrad degree in art and Martin before he became a sculptor - the day got better and better when Martin sold a new work at the RHA too !! Thanks so much to everyone who has supported our creative journeys from near and far xx #art #ecology #eco-socialartpractice #continuouscoverforestry #phdart #artphd #ecoart
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
