Alec Finlay’s book Wild City was also a major influence in the early stages. Their interventionist, performance-esque art in wild areas influenced my practice by inspiring me to delve deeper into nature. I explored and evaluated the works of Land Artists, for example Richard Long and the Land Art reactionist Hamish Fulton. Initially I researched topics relating to Extinction Rebellion and rewilding, which placed my research and practice in a wider social and environmental context. As my research and practice has evolved this year, the areas that I’ve been exploring have increasingly revolved around the concepts of digitality and wilderness.
