Despite our good intentions we reduce biodiversity through land management and impact the natural world in immeasurable ways. Over a four week period, in sometimes minus twenty-degree temperatures, I wrapped trees with hazard tape. What began as a meditative exercise whilst on a residency in Finland evolved into a comment on the accelerated effect human activities have on our environment. There is a numbing sense of apathy in the age of the Anthropocene towards solving climate change. I believe it will prove itself to be the most pressing issue of our generation.
