LAND REALLY IS THE BEST ART

Land Really Is the Best Art is a project exploring the relationship between urban development, nature, and the changing landscape. Using Surbiton as a case study, the project investigates the gradual loss of green spaces by comparing satellite imagery from 1940 to 2022.

​

Following this research, I visited the identified locations to document their present-day landscapes through photography. The photographs were printed onto cartridge paper and individually embroidered, using thread to highlight either the remaining traces of nature or the absence of greenery.

​

The project explores how research, photography, and textile processes can work together to visualise environmental change, transforming data and personal observation into a tactile record of the evolving urban landscape.
