In this episode, we sit down with Molly McNeany, an innovative artist whose work interrogates the very essence of what it means to call a place "home." Molly's use of collage and expanded painting techniques brings overlooked materials—like wood, wallpaper, and carpet—into the forefront of artistic dialogue challenging conventional notions of domestic environments, and prompting us to reconsider the beauty and complexity of our everyday surroundings.

How do you feel about the wilderness? Does it belong to everyone or is it only for special people? With me today we have New York-based abstract painter Matt Coombs whose paintings and drawings depict a fluidity between the natural environment, the figure and the synthetic. One of the fascinating aspects of Matts's practice is his willingness to seek the sublime in an augmented “nature”,  so much of the imagery used comes from his upbringing in the Burned Over District of Upstate NY a region known for a wave of apocalyptic Christian movements in the early Nineteenth Century and was the birthplace of Spiritualism and the American fascination with seances and spirits. Matt's paintings a language to better understand the ghost of the past and our entitlement to the landscape that blurred over from this history.

We talk about religion in the contemporary atmosphere, the art world and how it is affected by the wave of environmentalism and also some of his motivations and paintings.

Here with me today I have Paul Brooke, a wild photographer, eco poet and writer. Paul started as a biologist and later transformed his passion for wildlife into a career as a photographer and poet. Most of his works are a merger between his knowledge of science - the ecosystems, his passion for culture and eco theories that are then showcased in his unique poem structures and his perspective as a photographer that records his observations of nature.

As a photographer, Paul dedicates his practice to highlighting species like jaguars or pumas to understand the specific  adaptations and behaviours. As a consequence, he travels often to Brazil and Chile to be in contact with local communities and their wildlife, and this is an intrinsic aspect of his practice.

Paul is an accomplished photographer, lectures and poet with many books published and awards received and he shares his experiences on the nuances of being a wildlife photographer.

See his work here.

Today, we explore the captivating world of Alanna Lynch, a Canadian performance artist, who delves into contemporary questions through an interdisciplinary lens, merging art and science. Her background in biology and psychology, coupled with an MFA in visual arts, uniquely positions her to explore various domains simultaneously, blurring the boundaries between the humanities and sciences.

Lynch's work serves as a provocative exploration of the human condition, prompting critical reflection on the interconnectedness of life, identity, and societal constructs.

Welcome to the third episode of Insights of an Eco Artist. Today, I will talk about something I believe to be of extreme importance - artistic freedom that correlates with freedom of expression and speech.

In light of current events, with individual rights being jeopardized worldwide, I want to stretch the importance of such rights on the quality of life of individuals and societies. Artistic freedom is the freedom to imagine, create and distribute various cultural expressions free of political interference, governmental censorship, or the pressures of non-state parties. Despite artistic freedom being political, individual charged, controversial and sometimes being too close for comfort, raising questions we would rather not answer. Still, freedom to create and enjoy these creations are an integral part of the rights of individuals.

Welcome to this episode where we delve into the inspiring project Common Grounds, an artistic-scientific research exploring strategies for sonifying environmental data. Initiated in 2020 by the Sono-Choreographic Collective and led by Julia Boike, head of the Energy- and Water fluxes research group at the Alfred-Wegener-Institut Potsdam, this project is a groundbreaking exploration of strategies for sonifying environmental data. Lasting until 2025, it seeks to answer a profound question: How can a long-term collaboration between climate science and sonic arts be transformed into public experiences that connect us on a sensory level to the intricate web of our planetary systems?
