• Creating Temporal Visual Poetics to engage people with places in ethical ways
• Promoting artistic expression, social interaction and responsiveness for the world that surrounds us.
• Sustainability in art is the connection between nature & culture and art & ecology.

Carolyn has developed an extensive body of works that reflects on sustainability and
ecological value in our society.
Her immersive large-installation works are embedded with transparency, beauty and a sense of loss .

'With a multi-medium environmental practice, my work is in reclaiming material to challenge
and reconsider our responsibility towards over consumption and therefor unwanted waste.
In reusing discards, I up-cycle waste and re-purpose the abandoned as a personal response
to the world we live in for others to see.'
