I am a practicing environmental artist and soil hydrologist. I combine scientific disciplines of soils, ecology and hydrology with art-based research. I am presently undertaking a second PhD in art-based research at Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh, researching Environmental Art and Water Management Policy. I also engage with scientific research relating to human relationship with environment, such as disaster risk reduction and climate change. I use creative practices with the intention of expressing different ways of thinking to understand patterns, relationships, and processes within nature, focusing on the relationship of water and human activities. I combine aerial photography, clay sculpture, embroidery, and audio techniques to generate connections between people and environment, in ways that are intuitive, phenomenological and experiential.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t
