The forms of flora and fauna, weather systems and inky carbon have all inspired artist, Caroline Rothwell, who joins the 2023 Environmental Art and Design Prize judging panel.“I’ve been thinking about humanity’s impact on the planet for a while now,” Rothwell says. As the annual Environmental Art & Design Prize (EADP) opens to artists and designers Australia-wide this week, we sat down with this fascinating artist to ask her why she believes taking part in the EADP is so worthwhile.“I come from a family background with industrial chemistry and thinking about the polluting effects of agriculture chemicals on one side, and street botany and plant knowledge on the maternal side.
