Both as a visual artist and a forest ecologist in training, Milah van Zuilen aims to bend the disciplines of art and ecology closer together.

Fieldwork

With fieldwork as a fundamental method, she explores the human urge to understand, categorise and divide landscapes.

The Square

Also central to her work is the square, a shape that characterises this human perspective on the land. In current projects, Van Zuilen gathers and rearranges leaves and other plant materials into squares and grids, referring to the grid-like structures found in taxonomy, cartography and monocultural land use.

Artist and ecologist Milah van Zuilen explores landscapes, contrasting their natural complexity with humanity’s urge to control them. Through plant material, sculpture, and installation, she investigates earth-centric perspectives and bridges art with ecology.
