Project summary:

“First we had nature, and then came the environment; the people who used latin had no word for environment, they only knew natura.”  

This quote by Gustav Metzger summarises my interest on the human relationship with nature and how is it changing over time.

Nature, what is it? As urbanites, we call natural environment, what in reality are, human-controlled green spaces. Nowadays, all our experiences of Nature are restricted to parks, gardens and other green areas within our cities: the 'cultured nature'. In our aim to control everything, nature is classified, organized, designed, and theorized. It seems that we are reducing the wild to an imaginary landscape.

I render these thoughts not only in the form of prints, but also installations, drawings and book arts.

*Nature, a cultural artefact is the title of my MA dissertation at Royal College of Art, London.
