About the artist: Jarvis explains, "I didn’t set out to be an environmental artist or to create artwork relating to social commentary but as my portfolio developed and people started to review my work, the descriptions started to emerge and I began to notice a pattern I hadn’t intended but am now pleased with. My work tends to focus on science and the environment, the deviance of man, the increasing world population, the effects of industry on the planet and the consequences this has on nature. Some of my subject matter is about people’s daily routines and a comment on human nature or anti social nature. Each project often consists of multiple works, often in a range of different media, grouped around specific themes and meanings. During research and production new areas of interest arise that lead to the next body of work. While successfully gaining my BA Criminology degree at Colorado Mesa University, I designed an independent course in Forensic Sculpture. The process I used to rebuild an identity from skeletal remains through an amalgamation of artistry, forensic science, anthropology and anatomy ignited my love of art."
