Sculpture through a green lens
Art is never separate from the world around it. It responds to culture, science and shifting social priorities. As sustainability becomes central to contemporary life, it also becomes a meaningful framework through which to revisit art. This green reading of the sculpture on campus explores how themes of sustainability, environmental change and shared responsibility can shape the way we understand our collection today. Alongside the existing interpretation for each sculpture, these reflections ask you to think about artworks with a green perspective.
Take a fresh look at sculpture for Green Week. We invite you to pause, reflect, and discover how creativity, environment and responsibility intersect — and how art can help us imagine more sustainable futures.
Follow the links to sculptures with new, sustainability-focused interpretation or explore our new article, The art of sustainability to see how art can help us imagine greener futures.
