'Where There's Still Life', is an extraordinary collection of digital collages by climate artist Katherine Boland. With a profound commitment to using art as a catalyst for change, Katherine's latest work transcends traditional boundaries, intertwining the realms of human existence, nature, and technology.

In 'Where There's Still Life,' Katherine masterfully weaves together photographs of her burnt timber paintings with the capabilities of artificial intelligence. The result is a series of artworks that invite viewers to contemplate the intricate relationships that bind humanity, the natural world, and the digital domain. Through this fusion, she explores the profound influence each realm exerts upon the others, emphasising the pressing need for equilibrium and synergy in our rapidly changing world.

The integration of artificial intelligence into Katherine's creative process not only pushes the boundaries of traditional collage-making but also unlocks new dimensions of artistic expression. The AI algorithms, trained on the imagery of nature, blend seamlessly with the photographs of burnt timber paintings, generating unforeseen combinations of visual elements that challenge our perceptions.

'Where There's Still Life' serves as a meditation on the fragility of our environment and the devastating consequences of climate change. Through these digital collages, Katherine endeavours to inspire profound introspection, urging viewers to delve deeper into their relationship with the natural world and to confront the sobering impact of human activity on our fragile planet.

Ultimately, this collection issues a resounding call to action—an impassioned plea for each of us to shoulder the responsibility for our shared Earth and to unite in our efforts to forge a sustainable and equitable future. 'Where There's Still Life' beckons us to recognise that within the canvas of art lies the power to ignite transformation and inspire collective action in the face of an urgent global challenge.
