Pink Pop Painting

Hi! I'm Penny. Eclette is my brand and expression of self - I design and handmake eclectic and vibrantly colourful artworks. Eclette is a mix of the words 'palette' and 'eclectic' on account of my love of eclectic homes filled to the brim with colourful, eclectic art - I believe that a house is not a home unless it is full of things that shout individuality and personality. A core focus of my practice is on sustainability – my background in Zoology has led me to find creative ways to reduce and recycle waste and this flows into my art and the evolution of my hand-built vessels, wall sculptures and now furniture! I hand sculpt from a material I call ‘cardcrete’, made from cardboard pulp that uses 100% recycled cardboard. Once the moulded shapes are dry the resulting product is robust and tactile. These unique sculptures create a new life for a waste product.
