RAWNIE PARSONS-LOCK

How nice of you to visit my website. Here is a little information about my work. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me using the contact form.

My work embodies an ongoing search for connection and dialogue with nature, in a world where nature’s movement is often constrained. Amongst many, I draw inspiration from environmental philosopher Glenn Albrecht (2011), who envisions a new era following the Anthropocene, in which humans, nature, and technology coexist in harmony: the Symbiocene. In this era, the focus will be on relationships and interconnectedness between all living beings.
 
Since graduating, I have collaborated with many movements of nature, using specially designed instruments, I allow the movement of different natural sources (wind, water, sun)  to create drawings. After reviewing the drawings, I incorporate the unique shapes that emerge into my artworks . I see this partnership with the elements as a metaphor for how we must learn to live in harmony with nature. This deep connection with the natural world is also reflected in my use of materials.
