    Tonnes of carbon… installed in Meadowbank for Edinburgh Art Festival in 2020

    Tonnes of carbon produced by the personal transportation of a ‘professional artist’

    This graph was first compiled as the central illustration of Harrison’s 2019 book The Glasgow Effect: A Tale of Class, Capitalism & Carbon Footprint to illustrate the artist’s increasing amount of travel in the years running up to her 2016 project and the dramatic impact it had on reducing her carbon footprint for transport. It was updated in 2020 for display at Edinburgh Art Festival.
