艺术家丽贝卡·霍华德经过两年走访英国各地的生态恢复项目,创作了一组九幅大型油画,通过捕捉倒木、湿地和枯树等元素,展现当人类减少土地管理干预后自然如何恢复其生命力1。这个展览将于9月12日在西苏塞克斯的Knepp庄园揭幕,持续至10月18日1。每幅作品尺寸均为120厘米×70厘米1。
霍华德走访了英国各地的生态恢复项目,包括康沃尔的Cabilla、Knepp庄园、德文郡Derek Gow的农场、德比市城市荒野恢复项目、北约克郡的Broughton Sanctuary、康沃尔的Hamatethy Farm以及德文郡的Moor Barton1。其中Broughton Sanctuary由同一家族拥有超过900年1。通过这些走访,她捕捉了在人类干预减少后,自然生态系统中看似混乱但充满生命力的景象。
霍华德表示:"我想创作一个积极的展览,让人们感到被赋权去做自己的事情,而不是感到被气候和生物多样性危机完全压倒"1。这个展览旨在激励公众从新的视角理解生态恢复的意义。
Artist Rebecca Howard has created an exhibition of nine large-scale oil paintings documenting England's rewilding projects after spending two years visiting multiple sites across the country 1. The works, each measuring 120 centimeters by 70 centimeters, depict the aesthetic qualities of natural restoration efforts, capturing elements such as fallen trees, wetlands, and dead timber that emerge when human land management intervention is reduced 1.
The exhibition opens on September 12 at Knepp Estate in West Sussex and runs through October 18 1. Howard visited a diverse range of rewilding locations including Cabilla in Cornwall, Derek Gow's farm in Devon, Derby's urban rewilding project, Broughton Sanctuary in North Yorkshire—which has been owned by the same family for over 900 years—Hamatethy Farm in Cornwall, and Moor Barton in Devon 1.
Howard emphasized the purpose of her work, stating: "I wanted to create a positive exhibition that would make people feel empowered to do their own thing rather than feeling completely overwhelmed by the climate and biodiversity crisis" 1.
