Issue 02: Field Work

Fall 2018

Inspiration for Issue 02 stemmed directly from the work that we saw artists engaging with around Boston. As you flip through these pages, you’ll find that “Field Work” does not exclusively refer to a granular methodology, but rather extends to artists, writers, designers, and scientists whose work directly engages with the land we occupy. Field Work concerns itself with the human experience, the symbiosis between existence and environment, and our relationship to Earth, matter, and its elements.

Throughout this issue, we are posed with questions of stewardship, agency, and empathy towards our planet. As members of the creative community, it can be easy to overlook our contributions to waste and our use of toxic materials for the sake of noble deeds: art, research, civic engagement, community building, etc. Yes, you are currently holding 150 pages of heavy paper lathered with rich inks. Therefore, it’s not to say we should not con-sume, create, or experiment, but rather that we should do so with active consciousness. Field Work presents an opportunity to evaluate our relationship to the earth and to one another as collaborators on this planet.
