Dr Tabatha Forbes holds a doctorate in Fine Arts from Elam School, Auckland University. Her research and practice is primarily concerned with environmental perception/representation in the South Pacific with a primary interest in how we connect/disconnect from our natural habitats. Drawing on C18th & C19th European botanical and natural visual histories, Tabatha brings a contemporary eco-art discourse to her practice. With a background in installation, performance and moving image her work retains an interest in the audience experience while attending to the business of ‘thought provoking aesthetics’.
