Environmental responsibility
Zero-waste
The making of my art pieces produces zero-waste with respect to textile. Odds and ends from the making of one soft sculpture is collected and repurposed in different fabric sculptures.
Packaging
Art pieces are packed in diy repurposed packaging. With only printed materials on new reforested paper.
They are packed as minimally as is required for the protection of the particular piece, to reduce packaging as well as carbon footprint.
