I first wrote about Ludwika Ogorzelec's Space Crystallization Cycle after seeing her show here in NYC last February. Her prolific installation of site specific cellophane lattice has graced a broad range of settings since the series began a couple years ago. The latest... farmland.
Farming With Mary is a Queensland Australia project that brought environmental artists from all over the globe to the farming community. Ludwika installed three pieces, each comprised of about 5km of cellophane, on a farm in Tuchikoi in the Mary Valley Region. She also installed one piece in Noosa Woods. Pictures after the jump.

The Australian landscape, the subject of endless tributes by artists of all media, is given an intriguing and mysteriously-sexual twist by Fiona Lowry. In her recent show at Sydney's Gallery Barry Keldoulis, called "I'm having dreams about you," Lowry has painted dream-like images of the bush. Instead of flora and fauna, she shows shadowy human figures, some engaged in overtly sexual behavior, others more...

Not only are their products natural, sustainable and local, with bottling and packaging just 100 kilometers from the...

Not-for-profit and sustainability are the keywords here, and the park plays host to regular events from live gigs to programs about everything related to the environment. The café provides ridiculously healthy food, sustainable innovations are in action on...
Justin Gibbens admits to having an "obsessive, unhealthy interest in all things that scamper and poke about in the thickets and undergrowth." Like most obsessive interests that are artfully managed with creativity, Gibbens has been able to channel his work as a contemporary wildlife artist into something magical. Imitating the conventions of 18th and 19th century zoological illustration and traditional Chinese fine-line painting, Gibbens...
Part concept, part traditional monograph, Cameron Martin's "Analogue," published by Ghava{Press}, is an engaging study of man's relationship with nature and his shifting notions of the sublime. At its heart, the book is a compelling amalgamation of grand landscape imagery that includes appropriated advertisements, travel snapshots, found images and studio photos, juxtaposed with Martin's own haunting paintings of barren landscapes. Eschewing the typical devices of...
by Kyle SmallPart of the Earth Art Exhibit at The Royal Botanical Gardens in Canada, the work of German artist Nils-Udo caught CH's eye. His installation consists of a grass-based ramp (or is it a bridge?) leading into the verdant forest of the Ontario backwood. It's a clever example of the intersection of nature and a constructed reality, revealing some of our conceptions of both....
