RedLouise’s (Ju-Yi, Hung) research is about the investigation of sustainability and environmental education in relation to post-modern world art education, particularly in printmaking and playful forms of presentation.

Studying and keeping caterpillars from a young age developed RedLouise’s fascination with ecology. She thinks that if nature is regarded as a commodity, beauty and artistic value are definitely one of the big selling points. She is always finding gentle ways of working to approach serious tones and topics in order to make people care more through empathetic qualities. She selects different green materials, displaying the related issues. To make it more meaningful and persuasive, she believes there should be consistency within the whole concept and whether the process of making and its results are compatible with the aim of sustainability. She hopes that her work can encourage readers to become more curious about ecology and immerse themselves whilst bringing others closer to nature. Ideally, if more audiences read the environmental messages, there will be more possibilities for them to take more actions, encouraging them to become the next environmental communicators.

RedLouise desires to be in the education system, utilising teaching as her research. Raising social awareness of sustainability in printmaking through visual communication will always be her mission.

Being a course representative for three years at her university, collecting students’ voices from diverse education systems motivates RedLouise to write articles about the comparison between British and Taiwanese art education publicly. She analyses the educational criteria based on her experiences, communication with educators and interviews. Running sustainable printmaking workshops with Taiwanese students using a British course structure and teaching methods, she intertwined her interests and demonstrated the research practically.
