ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Mosaic & Mixed Media: crockery, wood, marble, glass, natural fibres and millefiori on wooden board, direct method (43x24.5 cm). 98% reused material. Did you know? In elegant, chaotic, amazing Naples there is a tradition whereby a customer can pay for a coffee for the next stranger who cannot afford it (“caffe’ sospeso”). Coffee is so essential, that no one should be left without it!

Eco-artivist, Rubbish artist. Mosaicist. Pioneering sustainable art, turning waste into art. Founder of Art for Trash© and payment in Kind(ness)©. Torn between optimism and surrender, I am  haunted by the idea of mankind’s imminent self-destruction. Yet, I believe in a future for humanity of resourceful innovation through re-thinking, re-purposing and reducing. It is this hope that I flaunt in my work, which is made out of waste. I thoroughly enjoy working within the ethical and material limitations involved, using materials which often take years to gather. They call for a constant and ingenuous adaptation, and every tessera I create is in itself a protest against our current disposable lifestyle, keeping my carbon footprint to the bare minimum and providing a different perspective on rubbish: from waste to wonder. I hope to inspire real change, and a move from an unsustainable anthropocentric society to an all-encompassing circular economy focused on the common good of the whole eco-system. Your bin is my Trashure chest and I would love to flaunt it on your walls! Please enquire for commissions - I love to play outside my confort zone and I never disappoint.
