‘Close to the edge’

Global Warming & Climate Change – Phrases which are now familiar to us all.

Wildfires, melting ice shelves, tragic loss of homesteads, destruction of essential forestation, wildlife habitation wiped out, and coastal erosion on a global scale are consequences of mankind’s folly and ignorance.

We, as a group of creative individuals, staff and students at the Suffolk School of Art, elect to take this opportunity to make our feelings known about climate change through our art.

This exhibition displays our thought, fears, and hopes. As artists we invite you to engage with us as complacency will only lead to disaster. Mankind is waking up to the severity of the situation. We are all responsible in part for Global Warming and therefore also able to aid its recovery.

Please enjoy the works on display - they were produced with sincerity, and always with you the viewing public, in mind. Varied in style and content, from abstract to representational, some direct and others subliminal.

We are a creative School of emotional and hopeful artists, striving to create meaningful work that tells a story. We ask you contemplate that story and take some of our feelings with you when you leave.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story.

John Parker – Suffolk School of Art.
