responses on the list-serve to the "any songs" "any crafts" "any jokes"

you are responding to Craig's question, please reply to all (or at least to me

<DIV>dear craig and all<BR><BR>For 12 years I have worked as an Environmental
Public Artist. Based in England, I have undertake in excess of 35 Public Art
commissions and residences within the UK and internationally. My practice
includes sculpture, new technologies and media, Live Art, and
photography.<BR><BR>Working within and responding to the environment, I became
increasingly aware of the necessity for my work to be scientifically informed to
be able to disseminate environmental issues and debates. This lead to initiating
collaborations and working partnerships with ecologists and environmental
scientists. Through collaboration I have found that the factual information
imparted is condensed, and digested in lay terms. As a non-scientist, I am
able to translate scientific data into an aesthetic and visual interpretation
that can inform a non-science audience.<BR>For the past 12 months, I have been
collaborating with a plant ecologist who has been researching invasive
non-native plant species for over eight years. Our collaborative work is a
hybrid, an area where art and science blur. We are exploring the shifting sands
that lie between artistsı practice, scientific evidence and social values: the
links between inquiry and unspoken assumptions in the context of invasive alien
species. These relationships provide an inspirational framework for a creative
interaction between artist, scientist, and audience in a mutual learning
process. Our work aims to engage the public in a very direct manner. It does not
attempt to deal with environmental management or treating the symptom, it
challenges the cause us. Our aim is to extend the consideration of global
transport of plants by human activities and the reactions surrounding their
arrival and acceptance. Our Science and Art collaborations examine methods of
developing understanding, and positive methods of dealing with perceived
environmental problems, and involving the public in the process. The art
outcomes presented to a wide and diverse audience/public beg the question
<BR><B><I>What will we do if we know the facts as evidenced by scientific
research?<BR></I></B><BR><BR><B>Collaborative Aims<BR></B>

<LI>To explore and communicate issues surrounding biodiversity and alien

<LI>To support, stimulate and advance ongoing ecological research into impacts
of alien species on the native flora and fauna in the UK

12-OCT 18 QUESTION: ARTS & CRAFTS<BR>> <BR>> Dear All,<BR>>
<BR>> I have a question about ARTS & CRAFTS:<BR>> <BR>> Regarding
exotic weed management or ecological restoration, has anyone<BR>> produced
any arts and/or crafts related to either of those activities?<BR>> <BR>>
Specifically, pieces made out of weeds and/or native plants (baskets,<BR>>
weavings, mobiles, etc.), or depicted the process of weed management or<BR>>
ecological restoration in oil paintings, water colors, ceramic art, or<BR>>
any other artistic medium?<BR>> <BR>> Sincerely, Craig Dremann, The
Reveg Edge (650) 325-7333<BR>> <BR>> <BR>>
