Chloe is a moving image artist working across digital collage, animation, photography and sound. Her practice combines original wildlife and macro photography with constructed digital environments and, in selected works, original field recordings and soundscape composition. Informed by ongoing field observation, biophilic design, environmental psychology, and research into the role of anthropomorphism in fostering empathy for the more than human world, her work explores ecology, memory, imagined ecosystems and deep time through immersive moving-image experiences. Alongside screen-based installations, she projects these works back into the landscapes and environments from which they emerge, allowing the digital and natural worlds to interact. By returning the work to its environmental context, she explores the relationship between the virtual and the living world, creating contemplative experiences that invite slower attention, curiosity and connection.
