Since September 2011 I have been working as the Associate Artist for a project sponsored by Durham University's Institute of Advanced Studies, 'New Storylines for Living with Environmental Change'. This work is now on display at the Botanic Garden until 31st August.

***** The project has been tremendously inspiring and challenging for me, as an artist, and also as a citizen with concern for our planet. It has highlighted the urgency of facing the issues of climate change and the need for a change of lifestyle, and also the potential risks in geo-engineering the climate.
The images below are from the artworks I created during the project, and some of the pages in the booklet that goes with the exhibition. If you click on them they enlarge so that they can be read.
