#eco grief
Artist in Residence Commission / Fort Worth, Texas (2019 - 2022)
From November 2019 onwards I shall begin an interdisciplinary residency with The Art Galleries at TCU in Fort Worth, Texas, working in conjunction with the Institute for Environmental Studies:
‘It’s main purpose is facilitating faculty collaboration on interdisciplinary projects outside home departments. Simply put, the Institute, which was founded in 2003, defines and solves environmentally related problems through education and research. And they do this by partnering with environmental nonprofits, law firms, government agencies and businesses, bringing current issues into the classroom’ Professor Becky Johnson says ‘… that the Institute breaks down the silo-effect allowing faculty to work outside their departments.’
The residency will explore concepts related to ‘Eco Grief’ & ‘Climate Anxiety’ within an extraction-rich geographical environment.
The project will run from 2019 to 2022 and will culminate in an exhibition.
