Man made green, 2011

The work alludes man’s efforts to control and maintain the natural environment within man made environments. Over time (five weeks) the work decays and disappear, that within time, eventually the environments will take over and return to its original state.

Every where we look we can see mans impact on the environment, from the roads we drive on, building we live in and the land we destroy, alter and create our own man made environments. We can directly see mans impact on the environment, and how we try to take control of it. To help raise public aware- ness of environmental issues, faced around Sunraysia and also within Australia. People need to be aware that we cannot control the environment, but we are able to do a lot of damage to it, which needs to be worked on and changes made where possible. The work asks the viewer to contemplate man’s interaction with the natural world and the resulting impact.
