Alana Brand

My work is an in depth exploration of the human relationship with the environment, diving deeper beyond the Anthropocene and the environmental issues that threaten the existence and future of humanity and the very planet earth we call home. I am fascinated, also intrigued by the human impact upon the planet, how we have shaped and changed the earth in the past, present and future, and how we interact with these natural surroundings.

I take inspiration from a myriad of things- anything from scientific materials such as microscope images and diagrams to natural and man made textures, shapes and forms - Materiality is my language. I translate these ideas and interactions into sculptures, prints and artists books, which give me the opportunity to utilise a wide range of materials to convey future and present worlds of anthropocentric destruction.
