About the Exhibition
Queen Green is an exhibition of new works by artist Susie Green inspired by her residency at Dalby Forest in the North Yorks Moors. The exhibition celebrates erotic encounters with nature, and moments of confidence and fragility, growth and decay, lightness and dark. Works on paper and large cut-out mixed forms mounted onto wooden trellis portray powerful, blossoming, shapeshifting bodies.
Queen Green is supported by Crescent Arts, Scarborough Museums Trust, Arts Council England and Forestry England.
Curated by Martha Cattell and John Heffernan
San Francisco Chronicle
The Earth Lab got some great newspaper coverage in December, 2022 when fabulous man about town and cleaver staff writer Tony Bravo imbedded with us for three days. Award winning photographer Lea Suzuki did a photo shoot in Holly Park in the Bernal Hill neighborhood. Tony Bravo managed to credit all the right people and places and we couldn’t have been happier with the piece. Click here to see the whole piece by Tony Bravo.
CNN
CNN gave us huge exposure with a really fantastic article about the Ecosex Wedding Project, using many of our great photos by our talented photographer collaborators. People saw and read this piece all around the world. We hope we planted some seeds in some people’s heads, that they can have a wedding to a non human entity they love too. Hoping for lots of copycats. The more love generated for the Earth, the better.

Our Book Assuming the Ecosexual Position: The Earth as Lover
The story 
of the artistic collaboration between the originators of the ecosex movement, their diverse communities, and the Earth.
What’s sexy about saving the planet? Funny you should ask. Because that is precisely—or, perhaps, broadly—what we have spent many years bringing to light in our lived art. In 2008, we married the Earth in a performance art wedding which set them on the path together to explore the realm of ecosexuality, taking the Earth as our lover and making our mutual pleasure a embodied expression of passion for the environment. Ever since, we have been not just pushing but obliterating the boundaries circumscribing biology and ecology, creating ecosexual art in their performance of an environmentalism that is feminist, queer, sensual, sexual, post-human, materialist, and steeped in humor.

SEEDBED: a Soil Symposium
The E.A.R.T.H. Lab, in collaboration with the UCSC Farm & Garden and the Center for Agroecology & Sustainable Food System, hosted Seedbed: a Soil Symposium. This interdisciplinary symposium on the state of soil occurred on April 26th – 28th. It featured performances, interactive activities and visual artwork installed throughout campus. Panels took place in the Cowell Ranch Hay Barn and explored a diverse range of topics from microbes to waste management, labor and farming; the magic composting and soil science. Seedbed looked at how climate change and human industry have endangered our topsoils – rendering it deadly- It also celebrated the amazing life sustaining potential of what we call “dirt.”
