About The Artwork

Working in the same stream of creating an aesthetic effect by juxtaposing the organic and the synthetic, I was inspired to do a flowing weft and warp. In nature everything seems to have its own logic, its own movement. Nothing is truly vertical nor truly horizontal. There something of a dancing movement. I deliberately created open see-through spaces in the composition in order to give it breathing spaces and thereby avoiding a ‘tapestry effect’. I used natural hessian, sisal wrapping string and scraps of heated synthetic fabric from discarded produce bags to give the joyful impression that “it happened on its own”.

I’m a visual artist and lecturer on Environmental Art. In my work I’m currently exploring the aesthetics of organic fibre and refuse synthetic fibre. Conducting workshops and lectures on Art and Environment to environmental science students I was naturally led to consider 'junk' materials as something to celebrate and to showcase these for their inherent virtues beyond mere usefulness. I hope to share with the viewer the beauty of bonding with materials we tend to disregard and foster an organic aesthetic. I’m fascinated by the juxtaposition of junk synthetic produce bags with sisal wrapping string. By this I’m marvelled at how a parallel ecology comes to the foreground. Recycling junk for the mere sake of recycling is not enough. I strongly feel that praising matter for its own sake is more fulfilling, and art is the best way of looking at discarded materials as a resource for creation. In considering environmental issues it's important to me to reconnect to our surroundings: the material world is the springboard of evolution, where I can enact the attempt to “love matter as myself”. As I shape matter, I myself am being shaped. The style is abstract and yet tactile. I like the materiality of humble materials.
