Earthbound

Set within the context of global anxiety about the climate crisis and planetary health research, this major group exhibition presents existing and newly commissioned artworks by nine artists and community makers that highlight our connection with the earth and our potential to return to a more healthy and harmonious existence with the natural world. It emerges from the argument that, over time, natural and human histories have become so disconnected that we have lost sight of the innate interconnectivity between human and natural life. 

Through sculpture, drawing, painting, installation and natural art-making techniques, the artists address earthbound themes that connect us with soil, plants, seeds, mycelium, animals and birds, and the histories, cultures and knowledge surrounding these.

Considered together, the works in Earthbound embody notions of care, community and courage, conveying a sense of hope and looking towards a future where, through a collective and deeper engagement with the planet, we can still effect positive change on our environment at both local and global levels.
