Meredith Copland

"My interest as an interdisciplinary artist is in developing an art based on ecological and philosophical ideas, and investigating the changing relationship between people and place. The space of nature and nurture are expressed through diverse content; textiles, science, new technology and ecological sustainability. Often there is a questioning of contemporary society and its artificial structures and rhythms, to which, out of necessity, we become attuned. I arrange, classify and compare 'people-made' or manipulated environments with natural ones." (Artist statement, 2008)
