In this interview, we talked with Paula Wilkins about her unique artistic journey that bridges environmental consciousness with creative expression. Based in the Isles of Scilly, Wilkins's practice encompasses underwater photography, sustainable art techniques, and her ongoing series "Notes from Sulis Island." We discussed her philosophy of imperfect sustainability, her advice for eco-conscious artists, and how art can bridge the gap between global environmental issues and public awareness. Wilkins's thoughtful approach to creating beauty while minimizing environmental impact offers a compelling model for contemporary artistic practice that honors both creativity and planetary stewardship.

In this compelling interview, Turkish Cypriot artist Chagla Mehmet reveals how her daily border crossings as a child in Cyprus shaped her artistic vision. Working primarily in photography and mixed media, Mehmet explores the intersection of personal memory, environmental witness, and cultural erasure through projects like "Traces" and "Moving Mountains." Her practice emerges from the unique perspective of growing up between divided territories, where she observed nature's quiet resistance to human-imposed boundaries—ivy threading through barbed wire, trees rooting across fault lines. This formative experience evolved into a sophisticated artistic methodology that combines darkroom experimentation with hand-drawn interventions, creating layered visual narratives that speak to fragmented histories and obscured voices.

Meet Mosaz (Zijun Zhao), a visionary artist whose intricate works bridge the gap between personal memory and collective cultural inheritance. Through delicate linework and symbolic forms, she transforms intimate emotions into universal visual narratives that speak to the complexities of contemporary Asian identity. From her studio practice rooted in Chinese philosophy to international exhibitions spanning Milan to Seoul, Mosaz creates art that feels like pages from a deeply personal diary—yet resonates across cultures and contexts.

In this interview, we spoke with Kirsty O'Brien, a contemporary artist from Redcar, Cleveland, whose powerful practice explores the intersection of industrial heritage and environmental consciousness. Working from her hometown in the shadow of former steel works, O'Brien creates experimental paintings that reflect the complex relationship between heavy industry and landscape transformation. Her innovative approach involves combining household paints, varnishes, and unconventional materials to mirror the chemical processes of steelmaking while addressing urgent environmental concerns.

Over six weeks,  James Keul, Jodie Anna Posen, Bronwen Gwillim, and Charlotte Mendel explored the intricate relationship between sustainability, technology, and societal bonds.

Florestania—a Brazilian Portuguese term that embodies the wisdom of knowing and respecting the forest as the Indigenous do—serves as the guiding spirit for this immersive virtual exhibition. Over six weeks, a collective of artists—Antonia Ablass, Dodd Holsapple, Andjelik, Denise Felber, and Isabella Morales Salis— navigated the realms of more-than-human networks, embracing the fluidity of linear time and weaving together environmental narratives.

Echoes- Group Exhibition

We are excited to invite you to a virtual exhibition featuring the artists' works from our September online residency program. Over six weeks, Kenny Ros, Rebecca Odessa, David Bickley and Francesca Busca explored the themes of water, alchemy, and the beauty and history of Madeira Island. Despite being from different backgrounds and working in a range of media, from sculpture, video, painting and photography, the artists found common ground in their fascination with nature's cycles and beauty.

Meet Duong Thuy Nguyen, a Vietnamese artist whose practice transforms environmental and cultural displacement into quietly powerful meditations on memory, impermanence, and belonging. Working with ephemeral materials—soap, water, soil, and found objects—Duong creates installations that exist in a state of constant becoming and unbecoming, mirroring the fragile nature of cultural memory itself. During her residency, Duong developed To Remember in Forgetting, a series of soap sculptures that reference Hanoi's iconic tube houses—architectural forms shaped by survival, density, and inherited ways of living. These delicate structures slowly dissolve over time, transforming from precise geometric forms into soft, warped remnants that speak to both endurance and vulnerability. Rather than preserving these architectural memories, Duong allows entropy itself to become the performer, creating what she calls "acts of dissolution" that embody the mutable nature of memory.

Meet Aqeela Sherazi, a Pakistani artist whose profound understanding of ecological spirituality transforms environmental discourse into deeply contemplative artistic experiences. Working across multiple mediums—from organic pigments and handmade materials to large-scale installations—Aqeela creates immersive environments that invite viewers into sacred dialogue with the natural world. During her April residency, Aqeela developed Garden Within, a monumental 19' x 86' installation that reimagines the garden as both earthly sanctuary and spiritual metaphor. Combining sand, organic pigments, wood, and laser-cut elements with an integrated 7' x 5' fountain, the work creates a living meditation on humanity's interconnectedness with nature. Her accompanying poem of the same title speaks to this vision: "There is a garden hidden deep, / Beyond the noise, beyond the sleep," offering viewers a space where environmental consciousness emerges not through alarm, but through profound serenity.

Meet Bronwen Gwillim, an artist and environmental advocate whose work intimately explores the relationship between local materials and global ecological concerns. Drawing inspiration from her surroundings on the South Pembrokeshire coast in West Wales, Bronwen creates art that addresses the pressing issue of plastic pollution with both urgency and creativity. During her January residency, Bronwen delves into the complexities of waste plastic and its impact on marine environments, while also highlighting the beauty of the natural world. By combining personal experiences with thoughtful commentary on the environment, she invites us to reconsider our connections to place and the materials we use.

Meet Charlotte Mendel, an author, screenwriter, and environmental activist whose work explores the intersection of personal narrative and global crisis. Drawing from her experiences as a traveler, teacher, and parent, she crafts stories that confront the urgent issue of climate change with both anger and hope. During her January residency, Charlotte delves into the inequalities driving environmental destruction, particularly the disproportionate impact of the wealthiest on the planet. By weaving together personal reflections with broader societal critiques, Mendel compels us to examine our roles in the climate crisis and consider the collective action needed to safeguard the future for generations to come.
