Balanced-Earth has lived alongside me, undercover, gestating, for longer than any other of my creative work. I have nurtured and refined my kinetic sculptures during shielding and covid-cautiousness, and they unite the many branches of my creative making history. Balanced-Earth in their ability to interact, support living creatures and repurpose otherwise waste products, feel more in harmony with me and my life.
What is Precious?
I was interviewed by Hayley Banks from Design Nation last month, just before the Design Nation Showcase at the Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair. The interview was recorded. Click on the image to be taken to the recording on Vimeo.
I discuss how Balanced-Earth is a creative evolution from my previous work as a jeweller and environmental arts educator (aka Footprint Arts). Images of this previous work can be found in “About“
Introducing Curving Stainless Steel Branches!
Click here to go to my gallery of images. I’m really pleased with the new look steel branches. With the loop underneath the curve, it echoes the loop in the vessel suspension handle. I’m very excited about introducing this latest development.
Workshops/Community Arts
For many years I was an environmental arts educator (Footprint Arts). There is a new page with image gallery about this.
My previous sculptures with waste plastic
Before Balanced-Earth, I created sculptures with waste plastics. This is Plankton II, made with blue drinking bottles. Plankton act as a carbon sink and provide every second breathe we take. Click here to discover more about my other creative work.
