Sewstainability
My current work considers, and is inspired by sustainable practice in order to help raise
awareness about the amount of plastic and materials we waste in daily life. My work uses discarded materials to create art that addresses environmental changes and consumerism, while celebrating the needs and joy of nature.
These recent works are produced by sewing recycled materials, such as discarded plastics, packages, recycled wood and fabric together to produce 2D wall pieces reminiscent of maps. The reproduced Google satellite images are places where I have lived, or where the effects of development and climate change are evident. This series of work is a reflection of the value of finding balance and living well on a daily basis.
