As with many fellow contemporary artists, I am interested in creating an art practice which is in balance with ‘nature’ and our ecologies. I am considerate of the art materials I use and aim to reduce waste. Under language (2010), To be able (2010) and Indevelopment (2008) are examples of artwork created by re-using materials, and please see below information on the paper I am using.

*250g/m Claire Fontaine paper, acid free, PEFC. Claire Fontaine create paper that is from environmentally friendly managed forests and have a ‘water trophy’ for their water treatment
