This work depicts 3 alterative strategies for increasing the area of relict habitat patches such as woodlands in lowland Britain. This is often a conservation aim in order to increase the species diversity and the persistence of the populations of each species.
Ecologists and conservationists recognise a distinction between the edge and the interior of habitat patches in terms of the character of the habitat they afford. Many species show a preference for one or the other so that species diversity is enhanced where habitat patches are large enough to posses significant areas of both marginal edge and interior habitats..
However, each of these strategies have different implications for edge/interior ratios.
The works shown here not only visualise the conservation strategies outlined here, but do so by drawing on the work of the Russian 'constructivists' such as Malevich and the American abstract expressionists such as Rothko.
