Rosemary Thorn: Interview Notes

Taking a flower home connects us materially to nature, it makes us into guardians of nature and connects us to a tangible first hand relationship.

To Read: On Extinction: How we became estranged from Nature by Melanie Challenger and The Wild Places by Robert MacFarlane. 

A return to a more immediate alliance with nature is essential so that knowledge of how we threaten it can alter our behavior – reawakening the sense that we live finite lives in a finite world.

More to read: Allen Carlson on Environmental Aesthetics 

"By making work that was focused on thinking about the environment, learning about plants, timing art-making to the weather I put myself more in touch with the environment."

"I felt it was better to focus on how I can use art/photography to help reconnect people with nature. Humanity has lost its interconnectedness with nature; we think we are above it, apart from it.  I see that it is this rupture that needs to be repaired.  I hope by using natural processes in making art works that humanities curiosity, understanding, respect and wonder at the natural world can be rekindled"

“As Estelle Jussim wrote, it is almost impossible for a single photograph to state both the problem and the solution. I want to make photographs whose very ambiguity provokes thought, rather than cuts it off prematurely.”
