CHRISTINE SIMPSON PHOTOGRAPHIC FINE ART
The shock of Covid 19 is a reminder to us of how vulnerable we are as a species and how everything and everyone on our planet is connected. Many of us have turned to Nature to reduce stress levels, improve mental health and stay physically active. Arising from this, significant positive outcomes have emerged such as our growing awareness, understanding and appreciation of nature. The artworks have been created during the pandemic. They express a deep reverence and respect for our living planet and reveal the smaller systems within our eco system that form the web of Life.

The image depicts an eroded landmass, a rich, unkempt, and decaying environment. The landmass is strewn with “found” objects, some a testament to the throw-away society we live in, others gifts from nature.They serve as symbols of hope, negligence, reverence, destruction, beauty awe, and desolation. The image acknowledges the damage that is being done to our planet but also reminds us of our connection to the Earth and the sacredness of all life .
