Repurpose
In pursuit and support of the sustainability movement, I was inspired to reflect it in my art. By using scrapped and throw-away materials, I was led to really think outside of the box and figure out ways to apply these unconventional textiles to create another dimension of depth within my pieces. Whether it was by collage or fully recycling materials, art has now become not only a channel for expression, but a channel of representation and action to support a global sustainable revolution.
