The work is a representation of our transient and delicate internal and external worlds. The materiality of this work is mirrored by the delicacy of this planet and the forces that protect it.
Working with recycled mundane materials is fascinating to me, how we can transform trash/waste and give it a new life energizes my connection to the creative process and to the world around me.
The work is made from 5000 used tea bags, painted individually into latex to create a malleable material like structure that is soft to touch almost skin like. It encourages an engagement of the present moment, aiming to highlight the beauty that can be found in mundane, rejected objects, stimulating a potentially enlightening, self-reflective experience that restores our relationship to our natural world, each other and ourselves.
