We have become addicted and mesmerized by our systems of consumerism and technology, and we conceive of the Earth as a commodity provider and background for humans. We have reached and gone beyond the limits of the planetary ecosystem. What started as our struggle for survival against scarcity and Nature, has led to a global civilization that has itself become a destructive planetary force. It is a portrait of someone who has reconnected to her evolutionary roots and therefore takes her place within Earth’s planetary system as ‘that part of the Earth which is conscious of itself, and which thinks, paints etc.’įrom this viewpoint, let us look at the crisis or collision course between our global civilization and ecological reality. I illustrate this article with my painting ‘The Ecological Self’, which is both an image of Earth from space, as well as a human form. ![]() ![]() My focus for the last twenty five years as a painter and thinker has been on developing an ecological perspective as to the nature of Earth and our relationship with Earth.

Some stories like the Miller's Tale or the Pardoner's Tale read nice and tight, with comedy and twist endings much like you'd see today. I'm sure they were the height of excitement in their day, but my modern ear can't tolerate all the unnecessary text. ![]() That said, I got a bit farther in and also remembered what I hated about medieval works: The long, pointless rambling, irrelevant details, and sermons. ![]() But I've always liked to read stuff like that: Chaucer, Beowulf, the Iliad, el Poema del Mio Cid.
