As an environmental scientist, specialising in soil health & land rehabilitation, watching environmental law be eroded at an alarming rate. Wye Von has turned to the arts. First to painting, her latest series, a conceptual & controversial expression, titled 'Draconian Antagonist'. Paying homage to those who put their lives on hold to take a stand for ecological, cultural & community integrity.Then to film where she incorporates all of the above & her collection of personal and professional interludes, such as; youth work, band management & her work as a community support worker. Wye Von writes scripts, directs and produces short films. Currently in the post production of her first short film of 12 mins.Her aim is to reach mainstream audiences with humour & uplifting story telling while she plants life giving seeds of change.In her time as an environmental scientist, Wye Von was excited to learn of the tiny changes that can be implemented in farming. These changes created symbiotic relationships between healthy ecosystems & farms. The results, fruitful & sustainable production of food. The challenge was not the science, it was policy which is derived from social pressure. It became clear that social change is the obstacle in Australia's way of reaching this natural equilibrium. As most of us already know, what is the most powerful tool for social change, the arts!Wye Von has been referred to as a passionate & off beat visionary, her drive is ultimately driven by her deep seated frustration in seeing Australia's core issue being the loss of our soil & land degradation.Her whole-istic approach is broad, fanciful and far reaching. It's ultimately a creative vision of a future where indigenous leadership, the arts & ecotourism, environmental science, employment of simple steps in de-globalising local communities & food production all play a pivotal role in steering this country onto a enlightened and exciting path of sustainability.
