Cathy Fitzgerald

I'm an Irish-based New Zealander. My creative work and art practice research is a response to eco-social concerns. Since 2008, my transversal ‘slow art’ practice is inspired by the small conifer plantation community that I live with, Hollywood forest, in County Carlow, in the South East of Ireland. My eco-social art practice involves: exploring, learning and sharing the understanding of new-to-Ireland, Close-to-Nature continuous cover forestry, experimental film-making, writing, eco-philosophy, national forest policy development and ecocide law advocacy. My key creative practice is blogging to collate the diverse activities in an open, engaging format, for audiences near and far. In my doctoral art practice research I developed a guiding theory-method framework to increase understanding of situated ecological art practices (which I prefer to call 'eco-social art practice). In 2016, I successfuly defended my research that utilises Guattari's ecosophy and transversality theories, and action research, to articulate the aims, operation and the socio-political potential of transversal practices. Transversal practices instil understanding that sustainability is always emergent and context specific. Transversal practices are also signficant ecopedagogy for art education and for all education that must attend the ecological emergency.
