I’ve always been interested in the relationship between art and social change. For many years I delved into that subject as a sociologist and ethnographer. When Kandos School of Cultural Adaptation (KSCA) formed in 2016 I suddenly had the opportunity to work in a socially engaged way as an artist with other artists, around issues I care a lot about – like sustainable land use. I love the idea that artists can do useful things where adaptation is needed in society, and that art can create situations where people of all walks of life can learn, play and cooperate to achieve good things.
