Strands of Sustainability


Aspens, Silverton, Colorado

The City Council in Willoughby, Australia defines sustainability as, "A vision of achieving simultaneous human and ecosystem well-being, with a goal of 'parallel care and respect for the ecosystem and the people within'. Sustainability is made up of three strands - social, economic and ecological (or environmental)".

The term parallel care has particular resonance and iconographic potential. I am also drawn to the imagery of global strands of sustainability braided from an infinite number of individual fibers.
