Threatened Isle 

Threatened Isle, an environmental art project on Portland, Dorset. 

His latest work, entitled Threatened Isle, uses Gaia and Neptune, the mythological gods of Earth and Sea, to highlight this abuse. 

A team of local, creatively minded, people have worked together to produce a series of visually striking, powerful photographic images which send a clear message about nature's response to the destructive invasion of plastic in their precious world. From working alone as a painter of abstract landscapes, Ian now recognises the increasing importance of team work and community in the battle against consumerism, climate change, pollution and pandemic. 

The photographs, together with a 3D installation, will form the basis of an exhibition when Covid restrictions are eased. In the meantime Ian is working with Plastic Free Portland, a local environmental group encouraging businesses and organisations on the island to reduce their use of plastic.

Artist Ian Dyke lives and works on the Isle of Portland on the southern most tip of the British Isles. The inspiration for much of his work, since retirement in 2010, is the stunning and varied coastal and rural landscapes of Cornwall and Dorset, but particularly his home environment. 

Ian has gradually fallen under the spiritual spell that pervades Portland, an island with a unique apartness. With this awareness comes a natural concern for the environment and the damage it suffers as a result of our throw away society.
