No full textPart of the "Comparative Degrees of Narration" exhibition at the XI'AN ART MUSEUM in Xi'an, China. April 29th - June 2nd 2017. A group exhibition between Chinese and New Zealand artists.
Artist Statement: The photographs Hydroseeded Woods, Hamilton, New Zealand, from the series From Certainty to Doubt explore notions of mankind’s relationship with nature. The work examines some of nature’s fundamental survival strategies – mimicry, camouflage, and deception and how humans have adapted these strategies in their lives.
The series Hydroseeded Woods is a vivid example of humans mimicking the natural process of plant growth and regeneration by adopting a technique known as Hydroseeding. This method adds a concoction of seeds that may or may not grow naturally in the location to slurry, which includes fertiliser, tackifyng agents, fibre mulch and dyes. The resulting seed mat usurps the natural growing process, increasing germination and plant development by 300%

Community revitalisation strategy
Get PDFAbstract of presentation :
The rising incidence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in western countries is reported as being driven by poor lifestyle choices, which include drops in adequate physical activity levels. Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) can impose large health, financial and economic costs on countries. In some countries, NCDs are responsible for more than 50% of health costs. The economic consequences of physical inactivity have been shown to be substantial for health care costs but even greater on indirect costs, which include the value of economic output lost because of illness, disease-related work disability and premature death. In response to the growing burden of chronic NCDs and in order to reduce the impact of major risk factors such as unhealthy diet and physical inactivity, the New Zealand Ministry of Health funded a community- and primary healthcare-based physical activity intervention called Green Prescription. Green prescriptions have been shown to be effective in increasing population physical activity levels. Green Prescriptions are available nationwide, through the partnership with general practitioner groups, sport trusts and funding from the Ministry of Health. The Green prescription initiative has been recognized as smart and cost-effective way to help people stay healthy thus alleviating health costs.
The purpose of this presentation is to highlight good practice that has stemmed from effective working relationships between health, local government agencies and sport trusts, to support people in adopting healthier lifestyles
