Forest Innovations - Darragh Hewat
As we enter an age of existential uncertainty, I wonder what the solution is. Perhaps a good starting point is empathy, understanding and deeper connections with each other.
My love of science has led me to develop my unique candle-powered motor along with the decorative copper-work shades I make. But recent science has also been able to prove to me the underlying physical connections between plants and animals, which had previously been left to mythology and mysticism, and which are now observable to us all.
In these neoliberal capitalist times we are fragmented and encouraged to ignore the connections between ourselves - and between ourselves and the living world around us. This last year has seen me achieve far higher levels of technical expertise with my unique motor and its decorations, meaning that I am no longer a prisoner of the engineering complexities of it and am far freer to begin exploring and expressing some of these existential notions. I hope that you will have the time to visit my studio, to see my work and, if you feel like it, to engage in discussion around these issues (or anything else you fancy!).
