Johnny Morant b1982 is a visual artist concerned with the single minded state of our modern society. In an age when collective understanding of the fragile state of our planet is so important, Morant aims to address this disconnection. By embracing a modern day heroic icon; the astronaut, his work plays upon the ‘overview effect’, the experience of seeing firsthand the reality of the Earth in space. From up there, national boundaries vanish, the conflicts that divide people become less important, and the need to create a planetary society with the united will to protect this "pale blue dot" becomes both obvious and imperative.
