What a blast from the past that was! ❄️ Gather What a blast from the past that was! ❄️ Gathering the remaining works and sketchbooks from my 2007 and 2008 trips to Antarctica. Some of these will find their way into the Antarctic Futures exhibition at @uow later this year. ❄️. It all seems very much like a dream now., not something I actually was privileged enough to experience. Something so vast and so special I will never forget. . #antarctica #antarcticart #futuring #lovenature #notesfromtheice

124 Australian species added to the IUCN red list 124 Australian species added to the IUCN red list last week. This includes the Bogong moth, Agrotis infusa, which only 4 years ago was seen in the billions when migrating to the alpine regions. . It is painful to even write down these words of devastation categorising the status of species: extinct in the wild, critically endangered, vulnerable. . It is time to act on the climate emergency, pollution, loss of habitat. What are we witnessing here?
A day at the Museum. Finally made it to the @beach A day at the Museum. Finally made it to the @beachescouncil Environmental Art & Design Prize exhibition. . Great to see @katelistonmillsauthor and my work “Requiem for a canary” in this finalists show. . So, so many great and very touching works. Half of them grappling with the destruction and loss of habitat through the 2020 bushfire summer. . Many concerned voices & visualizations begging for action on the climate emergency. . Exhibition open until December 12 at Manly Art Gallery @magamnsw. A 2 minute walk from the wharf.
