International Women’s Day: Trade & Exchange Event

Last week, to mark International Women’s Day, Arts and Culture University of Exeter invited me and Naomi to speak about our commissions, alongside two academics from the University of Exeter, Dr Ceri Lewis and Dr Rebecca Lovell, talking about their relevant research in the natural and social sciences. Here’s a link to the event …

Naomi Hart is an artist whose work looks at human interaction with the environment, especially themes around elements, journey and memory. Her work ranges from intricate drawings and paintings to large-scale installations. Naomi was Leverhulme artist in residence with glaciologists from Sheffield University and the University of Norway in Svalbard and exhibited the work at the Royal Geographical Society in London.

Dr Ceri Lewis’s research interests lie in understanding how marine invertebrates adapt and survive in a changing and increasingly polluted marine environment, and the potential impacts of environmental change on their physiology and reproduction.

Dr Rebecca Lovell’s research focuses on understanding the ways people can benefit from proximity to and contact with ‘natural’ environments. She is specifically interested in the health and wellbeing benefits of higher quality and bio-diverse spaces and places.
