Connecting With Nature Through Art

By Mostyn de Beer

Mostyn de Beer is an experienced artist educator based in Sweden. Mostyn is especially interested in environmental art; his practice investigates links between creating art and environmental education. In this post (the first in a series) Mostyn talks about his experience of making sculptures from natural materials, and contemplates how they can help participants connect to the natural world.
