What do gas bubbles, forest fires, village life, bee populations, mammoths, and craters have in common? Iā€™m exploring multiple perspectives about the Russian environment. In conversations with people in remote areas, I collect stories about environmental issues and visualise them in mixed-media comics, to illuminate the many ways humans are connected to nature.
