Custodians of Nature
July – 4 September
‘We must learn to live with nature, not destroy it’
– Studio Arts artist Jyma
This display, created by Studio Arts, is inspired by William and Dorothy Wordsworth’s love of nature. The artists were moved by the Wordsworths’ ambition to live within nature, as ‘an in inmate of this active universe’. The display invites you to explore the question: are you a responsible custodian of nature?
The work has been created using traditional artist techniques that existed during the Wordsworths’ time such as etching, as well as contemporary techniques currently used to create change, such as spray paint.
