Going to Antarctica changed how I think about making art. Since going there six years ago I have listened to artists, scientists and others who have worked there, and in the Arctic, and concern myself now with communicating facts about climate change. This is not to say I don’t express feelings about it. Feelings are facts, whole being responses to our environment, expressed through mind and body. The questions I am finding important to ask are: How do we respond to the huge changes we have made to Earth since the industrial revolution, how can we know these responses, what forms can they take, and how can these be communicated?
