Graphic Rewilding

Overview

Catherine Borowski and Lee Baker joined forces over a decade ago to create and curate art that meets people at ‘eye level’ - producing projects intended to inspire discourse in the public realm.

This work naturally led to the inception of Graphic Rewilding - a public art practice that is centred around improving quality of life.

It’s been shown that a 20 minute walk in nature is enough to significantly improve your mood and reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. However, as nature becomes less available for many in urban environments, it’s also been shown that exposure to PICTURES of nature has a positive effect on the mind. So, as an artistic counterbalance to the severe lack of green space in cities, Graphic Rewilding was founded to create vast, flower inspired, attention grabbing, positivity inducing artworks and immersive environments in often-overlooked urban spaces.

The vibrant images of nature are set in opposition to the concrete jungle, and though they obviously could never provide the same benefits as real nature, the intention is to inspire people to connect and empathise a little more with the natural world, hopefully mitigating some of the negative effects of a lack of exposure to green space.
