Sammi Drew’s work, The Disappearing Innocents of the World in Crisis, responds to the climate crisis as it links to the atrocities of the farming industry. More relevant than ever in this global pandemic, her work is concerned with the effects of farming on the environment, air, species, and human health through infectious diseases. She explores the fragmentation of animals in a unique and thought-provoking way. Using an eco-feminist ethic of care practice, she has created a project juxtaposing portraits of rescued farm animals, photograms of everyday objects and fragmented animal imagery. She uses cyanotypes throughout as an eco-friendly form of printing relying on the sun, water and her own physicality to produce each image.
