Abstract
Investigation the ability to define the Nomad. Exploring the vast range of the terms
identity and behaviour traits with a focusing understanding towards a contemporary, and
forecasted scope. Establishing the symbiotic relationship between Nomad and
environment. Wielding these perspectives within the artist's current practice field of
public wall painting to challenge the boundary of static and mobile within geography and
site specific. Further exploring the potential of unlimited mobility through field research
and responding with by expanding on the discovered denial, and arrival at the
dominance of limited mobility. Taking the concept of the wall, a previous destination of
artwork and re analysing its position as a potential direct act and dominant symbol of the
border and disunification, aligning it as being the opposer to Nomadism. Analysing this
postulated placement through the suspected symmetry of the relationship between
Nomadism versus Sedentarization, and contemporary civilisations control versus its
responding forms of resistance. Reapplying this versus to the primary importance of
Nomadism, its relationship to the environment, and the unbalance of global
desertification and degradation of the environment caused by sedentarized culture.
Forecasting a ending to the ability for the species survival if current trends continue.
Therefore composing two approaches with intent to harness the effective abilities of
Nomadistic traits, embracing their benefits through the activist and further artist identities
to resist and act on local and global environmental problems.
