Curated by art.earth and Dartington Arts - About this event Water, in all its forms, and locations, is the underlying theme which inspires all the artists in this exhibition. From that starting point they each have their own responses.
Meet the Artists: there will be a chance to meet and talk informally with the artists in the Garden Room Gallery on Friday, 6 July from 13:00 to 15:00.
Zoe Hudson says: As an environmental artist, my passion is being committed to expressing the visual beauty of our Global Ocean through my artwork. Alongside this, I raise awareness of Ocean Acidification and what we can do to help it. It is of critical importance we respond to this plight of our Global Ocean. The artworks that I create come forward from a meditative space through an alchemical blend of water from locations in the UK and France.
They are created with inks that swirl together as one, with an intention to inspire a renewed remembrance and appreciation of our deep connection with the water on this blue jewel we call home.

Water is the ESSENCE OF ALL LIFE.
- Oceans -Earth -Us .
When we understand more of the whole picture of how crucial it is to respect and take care of the deeper reality of our watery body and waters of the Earth, we can then begin to make conscious changes for the future.
Changes which have the potential to support a more harmonious, healthier sustainable way forward in the way we relate, for the health and future of Humanity, the Oceans and for the Earth .
The Essence of Water creatively inspires the viewer to engage with how connected they truly are to the water's of the Earth, Water being the largest ecosystem of our planet.
Discovery of how we all can take better care of the water within ourselves, and of the waters of the Earth, can invite a healthy integration and understanding both of the importance of our spiritual/ creative self and physical well being.
Alongside the science of Ocean Acidification are all valid and urgent reasons to heal our relationship with water.
There will be information on current ecological issues affecting the waters, the Oceans and Seas.
Awareness raising on the extremely time sensitive topic of Ocean Acidification, which is being caused by the Ocean soaking up C02 emissions that we create individually and collectively throughout our daily lives.
Ocean Acidification can and is causing ecosystems and marine diversity to dramatically change. The impact could be substantial, on many levels. As the oceans become more acidic, it will become progressively more difficult, if not impossible for organisms to build calcium carbonate shells and skeletons, to maintain their existence.
By the middle to end of this century, parts of the oceans have been forecast to be corrosive enough that they will cause already formed calcium carbonate to dissolve.
Ocean Acidification could have rippling consequences throughout the entire Oceanic and Planetary ecosystem.
Even marine animals that do not create calcium carbonate shells or skeletons may be threatened by the increasing acidity of the oceans. One of the most devastating impacts of rising ocean acidity could be the collapse of food webs.
As ocean chemistry continues to change, the many goods and services they provide could dwindle, forcing millions of people to find new food sources, new homes and new sources of income. Adapting to these losses would take huge resources from the global community and in some cases adaptation would not be possible. The Future of our Oceans is uncertain unless we all take swift immediately.
To understand more of the whole picture of how crucial it is to respect and take care of the deeper reality of our watery body and waters of the Earth, we can then begin to make conscious changes for the future, changes which support a harmonious, healthier sustainable way forward for the health and future of Humanity, the Oceans and for the Earth as a whole.
A healthier future is one where we reduce carbon dioxide emissions, transition to cleaner, renewable sources of energy and prevent the need for such large-scale adaptation. Commitment to respect and nurture the waters of our bodies, and the waters of the Earth’s Oceans as once we acknowledge the deeper truth of the part we all play in the well being of our own personal health and the health of the Waters of the Earth.
Only then will we individually and collectively become guardians of our Oceans and alleviate some of the environmental stress from ourselves, from the global Ocean and from this beautiful Earth, we all call home.

THE ESSENCE OF WATER
EXHIBITION
2012
An exhibition that combined art and the environment.
At The Earth Centre, East Budleigh, Devon which is a centre for environmental and renewable energy technology education .
This exhibition is an experience, consisting of paintings, poetry and awareness of our oneness with the Waters and Oceans of the Earth.
The Essence of Water Environmental Exhibition was hosted by environmental artists and educators Zoe Hudson and Sue Claire Morris. Said Zoe: “It was an evening of current environmental awareness looking at things like ocean acidification and pollution, alongside paintings representing the delicate nature of water, with art installations, poetry and community conversation on the topic of water and how we can make changes to reduce our Co2 emissions in our daily lives, to take the strain off of the Earths Oceans.

"Sue-Claire Morris and Zoe Hudson are engaged in pioneering working to bridge Art and Environment together. I am a great admirer of their educational programme. They have a great vision to serve the Earth through the arts, their commitment, dedication and hard work are truly inspiring"
