Joseph Emmanuel Ingoldsby trained in art and
landscape architecture with Ian McHarg, who
mentored him on Design with Nature. Mr.
Ingoldsbys work combines art, science and
technology to advocate for vanishing landscapes
and endangered species. The artist can play an
integral role in the raising of the public
consciousness through advocacy. Art can be used
to communicate complex ecological and scientific
principles to an audience outside of the confines
of the academy. This eulogy for Vanishing
Landscapes and Endangered Species must be told
with an urgency that speaks to the immediacy of
the visible and documented changes in our world.
The collaborative works examine, explain and
illustrate issues as climate change,
fragmentation of the landscape, broken trophic
cascades, species shifts and extinction, and the
loss of the natural and cultural landscape.
Fragmentation of the Natural and Cultural
Landscape I am interested in exploring the
natural and cultural history of the Midwest. The
lecture outlines the historic, political and
technological shifts that advanced the westward
manifest destiny, and their impacts on the
natural and cultural landscapes of the region.
The illustrated lecture traces out the
progressive imprint and impact of settlement and
infrastructure on the native landscape over time.
The lecture is outlined in the following
slides.
