A futuristic collage that depicts an insect inside a flower, undergoing a metamorphosis into an alternate form of nature. The artwork features a vivid color palette and sci-fi aesthetic, which imbues these lifeforms with a sense of the artificial. My intent was to reflect on the concept of post-naturalism, considering the potential for nature's evolution into something simulated or artificial.
Isobelle Munckton is a multidisciplinary artist currently working with film projections, sound, and discarded objects as expanded installations. Her work raises questions about humanity's relationship with both nature and technology, aiming to encourage viewers to reconsider their place within an ever-changing ecological landscape. Her work is inspired by natural processes, elements, forms, and non-human creatures, seeking to produce an awareness of connectivity between these things. Munckton draws upon Michel Foucault's concept of "Heterotopia", creating spatial or image-based microcosms that unite times and materials displaced from their individual origins. She is also inspired by Timothy Ingold's idea of nature as a "Meshwork".
