Artwork T-shirts Aim to Boost Nature in a Surprising Way

HODDESDON, U.K. - May 21, 2024 - PRLog -- EcoSoulfully have launched their nature-positive printed T-shirts and other items.

Kathryn Newey describes the artwork as "a unique collaboration between human creativity and AI-ingenuity, expressing love for animals and nature, and shining a powerful light on important issues about wildlife and the natural environment, aiming to spark conversations and inspire nature-positive action".

The range includes organic cotton T-shirts, bags, tea towels, recycled paper notebooks, and mugs - all with original designs illustrating environmental issues. These include protection of bees, hedgehogs and elephants, rewilding, natural gardens, reduction of ocean plastics, and conservation of trees, offering people a way to harness the 'power of their apparel'.

The artwork highlights natural beauty and miracles in nature, rather than negative issues. Instead of direct messages like 'stop killing bees', the eye-catching designs aim to remind people of their innate appreciation for nature and emotional connection to it, which Newey believes is a more powerful driver of behaviour change.

Newey comments on the irony of AI helping to craft artwork which encourages greater connection to nature. She explains that art is the medium and AI is the tool, but ultimately, design decisions rest with her. She must first visualise the designs, then describe these in detail to the AI image creator, and this can involve numerous attempts and image editing before she is happy with the outcomes.

"The resulting artwork should be surprising and beautiful, and sometimes I am pleasantly surprised by the unexpected results. For example, for my bycatch-aware design, I wanted an image of sea creatures surrounded by net and waves, and I was amazed how the AI interlaced shapes of the net with the cellular patterns on a turtle's shell."
