Protesting through art: Ackroyd & Harvey
SHARE

Ackroyd & Harvey are renowned artists who have made a name for themselves through their innovative and thought-provoking artworks. Their journey began with a collaboration on a project in a village in Northern Italy, where they grew an interior vaulted ceiling space with seed. This led them to discover the photosynthesis effect, sparking their interest in experimenting with the concept further.

Their work often addresses pressing issues such as climate change and environmental activism. Ackroyd and Harvey have been involved in fashion protests alongside influential figures like Vivienne Westwood. Their grass coat project, inspired by Italian language and championed by Westwood herself, exemplifies their commitment to using art as a medium for protest and awareness.

When asked about their creative process and use of grass as a material, Ackroyd and Harvey explained how they were drawn to the life-giving properties of grass. Their early experiments with grass led to the creation of unique sculptures and installations, highlighting the beauty and impermanence of nature.

One of their recent works, titled “I Sing the Spirit Fantastic,” showcases the poetry of Sir Ben Okri in a visually striking manner. The artwork invites viewers to reflect on the evolving nature of the environment and the urgent need for action in the face of the climate crisis.

In a society where environmental activism is gaining momentum, Ackroyd and Harvey’s work stands out for its sustainability and ethical considerations. They prioritize using biodegradable materials like grass in their art, ensuring that their creations have minimal impact on the environment.

Their commitment to collaboration and engagement with diverse audiences is evident in their approach to art-making. By working with historians, psychologists, activists, and scientists, Ackroyd and Harvey strive to create art that sparks meaningful conversations and connections with the community.
