KATIE // FINAL EXPERIMENTAL VIDEO - GROWTH AND DESTRUCTION

 


I was pleased with the outcome of this however, I feel I need the climate crisis aspect in my work needs to be more symbolic than physical as it doesn't fit the aesthetic of the natural element of my work and the colour contrast is too much. Although I liked the found footage of different plants and mushrooms and might continue to use some of these.

In my current practice I am exploring science fiction inspired futures. Heavily influenced by the Anthropocene, I aim to create a surreal interpretations of the future where nature is the protagonist. In a world where nature is being destroyed, I think it's important to consider other forms of living in a way to change this. I am currently interested in other-than-human theories, an environment where humans and other species co-exist and are treated as equals. I am also interested in out of the ordinary plant life and fungi that looks alien-like. Although traditionally working in paint and multi-media, I am looking to create more video artwork that will tie into my futuristic theme. Using a bright science fiction inspired colour palette, I aim to create a utopia of a future naturalistic world that contrasts against the world we live in today.
