As an artist and environmental practitioner I’m particularly interested in the intersection of creativity and science. I find myself more and more, problem solving to test my assumptions about my own practice.
So I've set myself a challenge of creating works that use organic materials, reclaimed materials and approaches that promote renewable energy and /or energy efficient design ideas.
My first attempt is a bedside table lamp piece that uses a palm frond (dropped from a palm at from Albert Park Lake) as a container to hold a LED light reflected by handmade paper.
With sustainability as the thread that links my work, I believe the arts, through all its creative expressions, can act as a powerful facilitator for social change, and in this case, the change about the way we think about waste, energy and aesthetics.
