Organik Planet - 2030

                

Organik Planet- 2030.


              
       Hope has never trickled down, it has always sprung up - Naomi Klein (ref 1 below)


Over the summer I was working on some new ideas, with the intention of creating something new by recycling old discarded art works...which evolved into new mini abstract works... images below












Each new work was made with the intention of having minimal impact on the environment and to help with the sustainability of Earth's natural resources. I have used reclaimed materials and recycled artworks as part of an ongoing eco- project which explores ideas around the creative process of recycling old discarded works.

In motivating people to love and defend the natural world, an ounce of hope is worth a ton of despair. George Monbiot 2ref.below.
