Description (eng)

At present, the exploration of the relationship between nature and culture is a key component of "ecocriticism". A theoretical discourse expanding in scope and influence, ecocriticism is ultimately focused on the ways in which the relationship between humans and the environment is imagined and portrayed in various cultural processes. This thesis explores ongoing debates of the nature/culture nexus as relating to the art practice of the contemporary painter Walton Ford (b. 1960). The aim is to discern the extent to which Walton Ford’s artistic practice can be contextualized within an ecocritical analysis, and thereby the larger world; to be able to provide an extensive commentary and analysis of not only what his artistic practice communicates, but how.
