David Buckley Borden

David Buckley Borden is an interdisciplinary artist and designer based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Using an accessible combination of art and design, David promotes a shared environmental awareness and heightened cultural value of ecology. David was a 2016/2017 Charles Bullard Fellow (Artist-in-Residence) at the Harvard Forest where his work approached the question “How can art and design foster cultural cohesion around environmental issues and help inform ecology-minded decision making?” As a Harvard Forest Associate Fellow, David continues to collaborate with Harvard researchers and to champion a cultural ecology supported by interdisciplinary science-communication. Some of Borden’s recent projects include “Hemlock Hospice,” a set of large installation pieces that mourn the death of revered hemlock trees, and “Warming Warning,” which combines art, environmental design, and science communication to convey global climate-change data and spur action.
