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.
Jason is currently working on
scenes from other areas and new images are being regularly added
so check back often.
