Listen "Capturing climate change through art"

Episode Synopsis

Humans have forever turned to nature for artistic inspiration. The earliest cave paintings are at least 64,000 years old and depict images of wild animals, landscapes, and even the heavens. More recently, photographer Ansel Adams, poet Wendell Berry, sculptor Andy Goldsworthy, and movie director Werner Herzog have all produced great art by musing on the material world.Jonathan's guest on Earthly, continues in that tradition. Todd Anderson collaborates with scientists and travels to some of the world’s most remote environments to see what they see only with the eye of an artist. Then Anderson creates prints using woodcuts to capture moments in time as landscapes are altered by rising temperatures.Anderson is going to tell us about his process, inspiration, and what he hopes his art says about the natural world.SHOW NOTESJourney to the IceThin IceTodd Anderson's WorkFor show notes and additonal resources, visit https://blogs.clemson.edu/earthly/.Earthly is hosted and produced by Clemson University.
