Chispa Flaskas - Public Space Pilgram

Chispa Flaskas sees herself as a public space pilgrim. Her urban explorations and interventions focus on the socio-political and cultural aesthetics involved in creating public spaces for both human and co-human species. Created with and in the natural landscape, Flaskas uses her interventions to question contemporary design practices and emphasise the current environmental issues that face city-dwelling species and their habitats. Her works to date have married land/site specific art with participatory interventions. Flaskas’ practice expands on her professional practice as a landscape architect and her engagement in community consultation processes.
