Tim Collins has worked across art, science and philosophy, developing artwork, public artwork, and research related to nature and public space for over twenty years. He has worked within a wide range of communities developing methods and practices that take best advantage of art and aesthetics in the public interest. Over the past decade working with his partner Reiko Goto, Tim has been developing sculptural and performative artwork, tools and technologies that attend to changes that are occurring in the atmosphere with a specific focus on forests and trees. Over the last three years they have been immersed on questions of cultural ecology in relationship to the ancient semi-natural Caledonia forests of Scotland; developing ideas about a 'critical forest art practice', that builds on previous work on post industrial landscapes and waterways. Tim is on the board of directors for the Landscape Research Group and the editorial advisory board for that group’s Journal. He is also on the board of the Glasgow sculpture Studios and is a member of the Native Woodland Discussion Group. He is an arts-peer reviewer and has served as an arts and science panel reviewer with the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the Economic and Social Research Council. Previously Tim has served as an associate professor and a distinguished research fellow at Carnegie Mellon University before moving to the UK in 2005 where he was appointed as a Professor of Art, Ecology and Planning, Associate Dean, research and development at University of . Various personal challenges and new financial opportunities led to a decision to return to the studio full time in 2012 to refocus his interests and research.
