Concept

Core to my practice this term is exploring how the Anthropocene, and the changes to the environment that comes with it, will transform and shape our spirituality in the centuries to come.

I believe that changes to our growing seasons, weather patterns and our access to resources will create new traditions. Our ability to adapt to different environments is core to our survival and at every point in the past where those environments have changed new belief systems and rituals have arisen. Longer growing seasons in parts of Europe might lead to a renewed focus on the Harvest as an important time of year; longer, harsher winters caused by the loss of the Gulf Stream and potentially the loss of the Great Ocean Current would surely change our behaviour during that period and our response to the coming of Spring.  

I want to explore what these changes might look like, how we move through both the seasons and our new environment by combining scientific predictions and fantastical imaginings of a proto-future.
