...the largest photosensitive emulsion we know of is the planet earth. As vegetation grows, dies back, changes colour with the seasons, the "photographic image" that is our planet alters. Increasingly human intervention plays a larger role in transforming the image of the globe we inhabit.

"Lloyd Godman's twin careers of serious and successful organic gardener and practicing artist of great creative energy converge in new and constantly surprising ways to make art about the ecological concerns that underly his gardening. Over almost three decades his art has widened out from relatively traditional landscape photography to include elements of performance, audience participation art and multimedia installation to explore the tensions between electronic consumer society and the ecosystem."

"Trees and plants change the climate. Indeed without the evolution of plants the environment on the planet would be inhospitable and no human life could survive. This is one key factor that makes the earth unique as a home for the diversity of life we enjoy. The foliage of the planet maintains the climate we enjoy. When we plant trees we alter the climate in this area, this is called a micro-climate. When we cut trees down we also alter the climate in the area. At the upper end of planet foliagtion there appears to be no limit - we cant have too many trees . However there can be detrimental effects of not having enough trees and pants on the planet. With no trees and plants the effects are worse than detrimental - life as we know it dies." |
