The Reach of the Exe: Art, Science and Exploration from Topsham to the ends of the Earth

Naomi Hart is an Exeter based artist.  After completing her Art and Design degree in 2002, she has developed a practice which has involved collaboration with scientists from all over the world – from the Arctic to the Galapagos, Canada and Australia.  Naomi makes multimedia and multidisciplinary artwork, using drawing, paint, photography, sculpture, installation, walking, performance and sound to investigate the world.  Her work is frequently focussed on water and marine environments, and the impact of environmental issues in the natural world, finding creative and astonishing ways of representing the threats to fragile and unique environments.

Naomi will talk about a few of her artistic collaborations with scientists, using examples from the Arctic and closer to home. There’ll be a small exhibition of work, including some sketchbooks, and cards will be for sale.
