“We talk about the arts as an ecosystem. In the past the vague model in people’s heads has always kind of been that web of interconnected relationships with resources travelling between different nodes on the network. 

The underlying assumption of what drives the ecosystem has been the pursuit of an upward trajectory - growth. “

“Collaborating with artists and arts workers interrogating and enduring every facet of this climate disaster has led me to understand the weather is the symptom. Underneath lies a complex web of problems with a very long history.

It’s not just nature. It’s not just emissions. It’s economic, political, social, and cultural. The future is trans-disciplinary.”

“When enter the wilderness each person shares the responsibilities of leadership. You work together to ensure the journey is in step with nature, caring for our bodies and country around us. Getting to our destination to see the sun rise again is a group endeavour, where we offer our talents and our abilities to the collective and the collective reciprocates through mutual support. We take turns answering different calls to duty.”
