Helen Wood takes the mirror of concern and presents a series of works highlighting the nature of production and consumption.
Sustainability is a word hung on many lips at this moment in time, as the human race struggles to come to terms with its own collective mortality. For some it is a hoax, for others a clarion call to action; but to all it is a question, a debate, an argument to be had. Contemporary Art has for many years looked at the nature of its own creation; the materials used in its production, the life of the object beyond this, and the environmental credentials of the artist as a producer in a world of stuff.
BasementArtsProject has long been fascinated by this apparent dichotomy; art as a humanity that enriches and develops civilisation, or art as pollutant with the power to hasten humanity's end. Will art play a part in our downfall in a world riven by war and consumerism, or rather than being a malign influence is it a voice of concern and reason.
Helen Wood takes the mirror of concern and presents a series of works highlighting the nature of consumption, material production and the paradox that is the notion of green growth.
