Debbie Crump - MA Show

My MA project seeks to acknowledge the hypothesis that suggests there is an intrinsic connection between Nature and human life, known as biophilia. Many children today learn about Nature in a digitalised environment; yet rather than portraying modern technology in a negative light, I want to invite viewers to think upon another alternative: that of a child learning directly from Nature itself. Whilst the wire sculpture represents the part of us that is concerned with modern technology, the papier mache embodies the natural world, and the imaginative growth as a human being. Coupling these installations together demonstrates a rekindling of the curiosity humanity can have for the natural world. Due to the interest in modern technology, much of humanity has lost this intrigue of nature; my MA project seeks to inspire older generations to be reignite that childlike, inquisitive mindset about the natural world which is so part of us.
