Lea Kannar-Lichtenberger explores the world of plants and evolution through an exhibition of photographs, video and sculpture. Using the microscopic image Lea examines the connections between art and science, creating awareness surrounding the alterations we make in nature to transform the flora and social, ethical, and cultural values in society.
Beyond Sight is an exhibition that initiates a dialogue surrounding Climate Change, the Anthropocene and the evolutionary impact this time will have on life on this planet.

My art explores the connections that surrounds human impact on islands. Since 2014 I have been investigating, with onsite research, small islands, World Heritage listed and isolated environments. Taking me to the Galapagos (Ecuador 2014), Faroe (the North Sea 2016) Lord Howe (NSW 2015) and Deception Islands (Antarctica 2017). Examining through immersive residencies as artist/tourist, traveller, observer, I look beyond the rhetoric to create artworks and installations that examine the impact of the Anthropocene and consumerism, on the Utopian destination. Through my interdisciplinary eco-critical vision creating a discourse via the traditions of printmedia, photography and drawing, to the new media of video, sound and installations.
