photogravure, handcoated with beeswax // Robert ParkeHarrison's Consumption (1997) is a haunting photogravure that explores themes of environmental decay and humanity's complex relationship with nature. In this image, a suited figure appears intertwined with a mass of skeletal tree roots and barren branches, evoking a sense of entrapment or entanglement with the natural world. The muted tones and hand-coated beeswax finish add an antique, textural quality that emphasizes the somber and contemplative mood of the piece. ParkeHarrison’s work often critiques industrialization and its impact on the earth, and Consumption visualizes the consequences of depletion and exploitation. This limited edition print, part of an edition of 35, is a compelling reminder of the fragile balance between humanity and the environment.

What is Environmental Art?
Environmental art is a collective term that refers to a wide range of artistic practices and works that engage with historical and ecological themes. The term often encompasses ecological concerns, although it is not exclusively defined by them. Environmental art acknowledges and appreciates the early history of the environmental art movement, including works with activist themes and those celebrating the connection between nature and the artist through the use of natural materials.
