REBECCA WYN KELLY

My work is a reflection of my deep connection to the world around me and my commitment to the values of sacred activism and deep ecology. In my artistic journey, I explore the concept of the future ancestor – a vision of ourselves as interconnected beings within a larger cosmic narrative, where we learn from its timeless wisdom and engage in a reciprocal relationship that transcends the human-centric view of the world.

Drawing inspiration from indigenous wisdom, I strive to capture the essence of our place-based knowledge, celebrating the unique stories that each locale has to tell. I aim to rekindle a sense of wonder and reverence for the specific places we inhabit, recognisng that each ecosystem and landscape is an integral part of the larger cosmic tapestry.

Water, as a symbol of life and a source of sustenance, is a recurring motif in my art. I draw attention to the critical issues of water pollution, advocating for climate justice and the protection of this precious resource. Water reminds us of our interconnectedness with all living beings and the need for a reciprocal relationship with the environment that transcends a narrow, human-centric view of the world.

Through my art, I am on a sacred journey of activism, seeking to inspire a deeper connection to the Earth and a renewed commitment to climate justice. I invite viewers to contemplate their role as future ancestors and to join in the collective effort to protect and preserve the beauty and vitality of our planet.
