About The Artwork
First of its kind, “The Flow of Life" is a permanent installation of 9.5 metres made 100% with waste, and it is a commission for the chapel of Ada Lovelace CoE school, which is open to all faiths. It required about 8,000 screw caps and just as many ring pulls (some of which were collected by the students/parents/staff of the school during the previous summer). The left side is devoted to self reflection, meditation and floor space for rugs. As such, it is primarily based on calm, introspective colours, such as blues and greens. As we move towards the right, we are coming closer to the benches and the altar, where vibrant reds and gold triumph to recall purity and light. As a finishing touch, 3 accents of gold to represent the holy trinity, and finally gold as a main hue at the end, to add a frame of warm light around the pulpit. The Flow of Life is a depiction of what all faiths have in common: both the belief that life does not end with death but merely flows into a different stage, and the present moment, when we are indeed all sharing the miracle of life. Finally, it is a celebration of all our diversities, which just like hues and shades, once together create the rich canvas of life.

Eco-artivist, Rubbish artist. Mosaicist. Pioneering sustainable art, turning waste into art. Founder of Art for Trash ©. 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.
