At the heart of my artistic practice lies an engagement with altered landscapes—charred remnants and regenerative growth. Through sculpture and mixed media, my work reflects on ecological relationship and the existential questions embedded in the existence of climate change and the anthropocenic age. My artwork and projects offer material traces of this research as well as contemplative space for audiences to grapple with their own adaptability, while engaging with the material and symbolic dimensions of embodied ecologies. Grounded in land and the concept of “resource” itself, my practice aims to create visual narratives that resonate deeply with our current ecological moment.
ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH & COLLABORATION
Through collaborative work with initiatives like the Hummingbird Collective and Nature Creative Commons I contribute to bridging art, science, and communication. As part of this interdisciplinary group, I help develop accessible, visually engaging resources to address critical environmental issues, including forest carbon misinformation and sustainable forest stewardship. By combining diverse expertise—ecologists, data scientists, designers, and communicators—our work supports informed decision-making while highlighting the essential role of intact forests in mitigating climate change. These efforts empower communities and policymakers with open-source tools for advocacy and ecological understanding.
BIOMASS
As editor and curator of BIOMASS, I delve into the lived realities of creative labor through exhibitions, interviews, and recordings. The periodical examines the interconnected cycles of material, energy, and community in artistic practice, spotlighting the ingenuity of artists working within personal, political, and economic constraints. By presenting sustainable approaches and alternative pathways to art-making, BIOMASS serves as both a resource and a reflection of how creative practices can inspire transformative change. Each volume reveals grounded, holistic examples of how artists navigate and respond to ecological and social upheaval, offering a lens into resilience and innovation in the creative process.
WRITING
Liljana Flora Fauna is an experimental incubator for emergent ideas, essays, podcasts, critiques, and questions at the intersection of art, ecology, media and culture. Utilizing the framework of an artist newsletter, I explore art, events, activism and media as a form of ecological inquiry. The newsletter invites audiences to reimagine their roles within the ecosystems they inhabit, learn new things, gain early access to studio sales and workshops to cultivate creative community that nurtures both personal transformation and planetary well-being.
