As I was walking along the beach in West of France I picked up a bag wherein oysters are farmed and was washed ashore. Further inland I gathered discarded nets used for envelopping haystacks. In this travelling "notebook" I was inspired to juxtapose these two found materials from land and sea and give them an airy dimension. It's always a pleasant challange for me to give what is normally considered as junk a label that has a prestigious dimension. My aim is to share with the viewers the beauty I see in these discarded materials and thereby celebrate all matter.

I’m a visual artist and lecturer on Environmental Art. In my work I’m currently exploring the aesthetics of organic fibre and refuse synthetic fibre. Conducting workshops and lectures on Art and Environment to environmental science students I was naturally led to consider 'junk' materials as something to celebrate and to showcase these for their inherent virtues beyond mere usefulness. I hope to share with the viewer the beauty of bonding with materials we tend to disregard and foster an organic aesthetic. I’m fascinated by the juxtaposition of junk synthetic produce bags with sisal wrapping string. By this I’m marvelled at how a parallel ecology comes to the foreground. Recycling junk for the mere sake of recycling is not enough. I strongly feel that praising matter for its own sake is more fulfilling, and art is the best way of looking at discarded materials as a resource for creation. In considering environmental issues it's important to me to reconnect to our surroundings: the material world is the springboard of evolution, where I can enact the attempt to “love matter as myself”. As I shape matter, I myself am being shaped. The style is abstract and yet tactile. I like the materiality of humble materials.
