Photoessays: Art and the Earth



Lynne Hull is a Wyoming artist currently living in Colorado. She has pioneered "trans-species art," creating sculpture installations as wildlife habitat enhancement and mitigation for human impact. She began her environmental artwork from the desire "to make a positive gesture toward the earth" and express her concerns for endangered life cycles. She works from the belief that artist creativity can be effectively applied to the urgent situations we face today. She has authored articles in Sculpture and Maquette magazines and Legacy and Interpscan journals on environmental interpretation.

Hull has worked in the American West with a variety of wildlife agencies including state wildlife departments, the Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and National Park Service, as well as in New York, Massachusetts, and internationally. In 1993-94 she completed three projects in the United Kingdom courtesy of a Fulbright Fellowship and one in Kenya on a Lila Wallace/Reader's Digest Foundation/Arts International Residency. Recently she completed work on "The Exiled Oxbow," a memorial to the loss of wetlands, in Salina, Kansas. Her client list includes hawks, eagles, pine martin, osprey, salmon, butterflies, bees, frogs, toads, newts, bats, beaver, songbirds, otter, rock hyrax, small desert species, waterfowl and occasional humans.
