Yvanna Greene is an Irish artist and researcher, working and living on Dublin’s coast. Her work is project based, uses multi-media, and works across disciplines. Research lead initially, the projects then involve nature field studies that include drawing and making as a way of thinking and reflecting. Core to her eco-social arts practice is sharing an awareness of how all living and non-living entities are entangled and how this underlies the direct link between our health and the health of the planet. Recent performative lectures have been created to provide information, while at the same time challenging audiences’ perception of the more-than-human world and encouraging reflection on what we know and how we may know.
