Enlivening our
Sense of the World: Environmental Connectedness through Artistic
Engagement
(Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014)
Abstract: Beginning with the claim that we are more likely to care for
and protect natural ecologies close to home (and thereby the environment
as a whole) if we feel for them a sense of love and connection, this
thesis builds on the foundation that such a felt connection is necessarily
aesthetic in that it involves the whole being — including body, senses and
spirit. The experience of active engagement in the arts shares many
commonalities with that of being immersed in nature. In this regard, being
well versed in several forms of the arts can contribute to deeper and
subtler interrelatedness with natural environments. Unlike literal
language, the arts offer means of learning and expressing what one knows
of the world around us in ways that are sensuous, embodied, symbolic and
ineffable. An argument is made for the validation in education of a lived
and embedded relationship with the natural world (and with place) and for
how the arts can help engender such a relationship. Examples of aesthetic
practice and their process are explored: a series of drawings done in two
particular wooded areas over the course of a year, and a series of
imaginative writings stemming from listening to what certain forms in the
natural world might say. This experience of listening is then considered
in light of how it might contribute to an increased mindful awareness of
self, particularly as an ethical being in relation to other forms of life.
