Rebecca Davis
Eco Sculpture Photo Collage
In Davis' words, "My work reflects my anxiety about the pollution produced by our synthetic culture. The effect pollution has on the earth's environment is the conceptual core of my sculpture and photo collage. In my work, I combine elements of wilderness and the products of human culture." She carves miniature glaciers out of marble and pours oozing black rubber on them. These sculptures get reused in her photo collages, placed as icebergs floating in sea.

EcoArtTech
Eclipse ERAR-AT
Cary Peppermint and Leila Christine Nadir founded EcoArtTech as their collaborative platform for digital environmental art in 2005. "Eclipse" is a user driven, artwork-application that alters and corrupts networked photostreams of United States national and state parks based on real-time Air Quality Index (particle pollution data). "ERAR-AT (Environmental Risk Assessment Rover)" is a mobile, solar- and GPS-powered, networked video installation that will accumulate and aggregate the environmental threats and risks faced by the population in its immediate location. ERAR-AT performs the difficulty of perceiving, evaluating, and understanding risk scenarios and presents an assessment of its given locale by producing a unique fourteen-tiered threat level embedded live within video projections onto local natural and architectural surfaces. EcoArtTech has created many projects and exhibits connecting environmental concerns with new technologies.

Nele Azevedo
Melting Men More Melting Men photos More photos GreenMuze Interview
Azevedo is a Brazilian artist who has exhibited her installation "Minimum Monument" in cities all over the world. While her intention is to critique monuments, putting in their place small ephemeral ice sculptures of many common men, the Melting Men project has been followed by environmentalists. As a public installation of tiny melting figures, it seems to speak clearly about the dangers of climate change.

Janey Hunt
Resolutions Exchange Escape Conscience Offsets
As an artist and researcher Hunt works in the field of climate change and environmental behaviour. Her current work explores the tension between our recognition of need, but then our inability to change our own behaviour. Posing herself as a typical well-intentioned green aspirant, and provoked by her own admissions of failure, she uses conversation as both method and outcome, to encourage a sharing of experience and knowledge, frustration and achievement.

Adriane Colburn
Arctic Ice Arctic Suns
In her most recent works, Colburn references systems that we utilize in everyday life, but are largely removed from our consciousness. Sprawling organisms such as urban sewer and water systems and the global network of pipes and refineries that develop and transport oil have been fodder for an investigation of the complex yet base, and at times grotesque, constructs that support modern society.

Rebecca Potts
Glacial Melt
Rebecca Potts is interested in human interaction with land: how we both alter and are altered by the land. Her current work searches for solutions and understanding of climate change. It specifically focuses on water's role in global warming: the melting of glaciers, sea-level rise, and the quickening loss of this blue-gold.
