Aviva Reed is a transdisciplinary visual ecologist. Her practice reframes scientific theories, particularly concepts associated with evolution and ecological categorisations. Her work moves between performance, ritual, lecture, publications and visual art. She explores time, scale and relationship using storytelling, visualisations, soundscapes and conversation. Aviva is a core member Esk Studio, a multi-disciplined artist run initiative with a focus on environmental conservation, education and community through an arts lens. She is also part of the Small Friends Books team (published by CSIRO Publishing), as well as co-designer and facilitator of workshops inspired by these award-winning publications. These books explore the world of microbes. She self published, “Eon, the Story of the Fossils”, in 2017. This illustrated book explores what we can learn from billions of years of being part of an evolving ecosystem. Aviva presents workshops using techniques such as art making, storytelling, and hands on ecoliteracy to explore complexity.
