Laura

Donkers

I am an ecological artist living on North Uist, Outer Hebrides where I create site-specific works in response to pressing ecological challenges of our time. I explore nature’s rich narratives through the physical and spatial thresholds of places by way of their diverse geographies, histories and communities. By employing field research methodologies, I collect and present primary observations that manifest as drawings, prints, film poems, and public interventions. My work invites a deeper understanding of places, fostering a connection between art and the natural environment.

Disciplines: Drawing

Location: Isle of North Uist

Materials: Lithography, Monoprint, Paper, Pastel, Relief Print
