Symbiotic: The Human Body and Constructs of Nature

Combined with a Masters of Fine Art thesis exhibition, Symbiotic, the dossier provides three components: an extended artist’s statement, documentation of my artwork and an exhibition review of There Is No There at Hamilton Artist Inc. in 2015. These three components help guide and illustrate my findings in investigating the interrelationship between the human body and the environment, specifically in trees; how they are inseparable and interchangeable, and how they pertain to the non-existence of a pure natural world. Through sculpture, I explore the essence of these two entities by considering constructs of nature, as well as where the human body fits in within these categories.
