About the images and
the artist Yorkshire
photographer and artist, Jason
Elliott, has taken a tongue-in-cheek look into the future with a
series of images of what the Calder Valley may look like after a few
years of Climate Change.
A variety of scenes have been transformed by tropical vegetation and
exotic wild animals making the familiar seem strangely unfamiliar.
From tropical storms over the Co-op to parrots flying down New Road…
expect the unexpected.
“I wanted to draw attention to the fact that Climate Change is
happening, but to get the message across in a more light-hearted way
than we are used to. It’s an extremely serious issue, particularly
in areas like ours that can be prone to flooding, but it's good to
engage people in a way that doesn’t make them feel they are being
preached to” said the artist.
What a great idea for an original gift with a local twist!
Jason is currently working on scenes
from other parts of Calderdale and new images are being regularly
added so check back often.
