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.

Jason is a director of Green Refurb Ltd and the organiser of The Big Green Weekend
