THE THEME – ENVIRONMENT
The theme of environment is deliberately broad, we are interested in seeing how artists perceive this within their work and creative process. When thinking about your work, it maybe interpreted by an artist making work that responds to themes around the environment, using sustainable practices or link to how your environment inspires / influences your work as an artist.
