Time and place
"Peatland Forensics" deals with "Ecological Grief" from a design perspective. The term describes negative emotions that are caused by experiencing indirect or direct consequences of the climate crisis. What does it mean to mourn a landscape? From my engagement with the Red Moor, a landscape in the Rhön which is directly affected by climate change, eight clay pots were created. The series is showing the anthropogenic and climatic processes that have shaped the bog throughout the centuries while forming a reminiscence for the place. They tell its' story through shape, manufacture and material and show its constant threat of dehydration. Thus, by tactile experiencing ecological processes, another dimension of the climate crisis can be conveyed.
