David Haley is an ecological artist, researcher and eco-pedagogue with specific interest in generating dialogues for ‘capable futures’ that question the nexus of Nature-Climate-CulturalEmergencies. Starting with the question, ‘What’s in it for the wood?’,David has created a series of redrawn and collaged maps and poems from his dialogue with scientists, artists, local people and Marton Wood. His final question is, ‘How can the unremarkable wood become commonplace?’
