Nature Exposure  
Grace Ede, MA Arts Practice at The Northern School of Art 

Abstract

​

‘Nature Exposure’ is a project delving deep into the Grace Ede’s memories of her childhood adventures in nature, using these experiences as a baseline souvenir to inform a body of photographic works exhibited as part of The Northern Arts Gala at Hartlepool Art Gallery in January 2023.

 

The project aimed to reconnect the artist with the natural world and her memories again as an adult, using her time in nature as a form of self-care and positive mental health reinforcement inspired by art and nature therapy. The artist attempted this through the act of walking and exploring her childhood environments, inspiring her to create new souvenirs by experimenting with journaling, photography, and natural textile creations.

About

PAD (Perspective in Art & Design) is The Northern School of Art’s scholarly activity and research journal; a place for the publication of staff and student academic investigation. Covering issues as diverse as written and practice based research, PAD aims to bring to the fore new ideas, new approaches to existing debates, interpretations on written and visual practice, debates in art and design history, and issues of creative pedagogy. Our goal is to allow scholarly activity to be delivered through equality, where there is no hierarchy between the academic and the student, those with a record of publication, and those who will be shown here for the first time.
