These sketchbook pages are a visual exploration of my current PhD research which seeks to understand the language and narratives of ecological identity - what an ecological identity is; how an ecological identity is formed; and how expanding one's sense of self to include the ecological could be of benefit, or bring about change to the individual, organisations or society.
I have begun my research guided by the intention to live ‘cyclically;’ to first connect with, and experience my own ecological sense of self. I have chosen to use the eight pagan festivals, collectively known as the Wheel of the Year, as markers in this experience.
The creative responses are presented in 4 parts, and represent a selection of my work
Samhain - Imbolc
Imbolc - Beltane
Beltane - Lammas
Lammas to Samhain
