Generative by Nature, 2023

Humans are generative, propagating ourselves and our creations to the far reaches of the world and beyond. Unfettered, this practice has taken its toll on many fronts – alarming biodiversity loss, deforestation, and pushing systems to crisis points.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

We are surrounded by nature, still, and can nurture it back to health. We have the knowledge and ability to live sustainably and in harmony with the environment, if we choose to do so. Our potential for innovation is tremendous, and the rate at which technology is evolving is astounding.

In the same way that we can steer what we “generate” in the world, generative works were used in the creation of this piece, to manifest a scene where nature is flourishing all around, while what we are manifesting therein is still taking shape – it will become what we steer it to be.
