In Conversation with Bryony Ella

This August, ReWild Yourself’s Spotlight Champion is the extremely talented multi-disciplinary artist, Bryony Ella

We had a fantastic chat with Bryony, where we covered a wide range of topics from her early start with art and feeling out of place in the science world, to her latest event and sculpture that beautifully blended climate change research with a multidisciplinary performance. Tune in if you’re looking to hear more about embodied ecology, the space where art and science meet or how to get your wild drawing practice kicking! Bryony shows us why we should never stop playing with and in Nature.

There is plenty to digest, you can either check out the clips below, or watch the entire interview on Bryony’s  ReWild Yourself Champion Profile where there is also other related content you might enjoy. 

Bryony’s Connection with Nature

Bryony shares with us some fun and reflective moments she’s had in Nature, and inspires us with her retellings of how magical Nature can be. She also covers time-sensitive action that we should take to keep this magic from vanishing. If you are looking for inspiration to reconnect with Nature and get inspired to protect it, then tune in!

Bryony on Art, Science and Embodied Ecology

Bryony tells us how she initially felt out of place in the science world, boxed in the artist and creative field, only to find herself surrounded by hundreds of scientists and spotting inspired windows of opportunity to blend the two fields. From painting her first mural and connecting communities with the latest Nature research, to stumbling upon the term ’embodied ecology’ and now working alongside researchers, Bryony’s journey is one of a kind!

Bryony on Our Relationship with the Sun

Bryony shares the behind the scenes of her latest art piece, and the event performed in collaboration with other artists that showcased her sculpture. In it Bryony explores the historically entrenched and current relationship we have with the only star in our solar system. She explains the idea behind her sculpture of our bodies serving as sundials, and the personal experience that led her to explore this human-star relationship. A must watch if you’re interested in awesome artwork, and hearing about how not only the sun shapes us and our world, but we shape it in return. Check it out!
