BIO COLOUR

April 19, 2020

The process of creating paints and pigments from materials gathered at specific locations has allowed me to contrast factory produced colours with a more sustainably centred approach to making. From discarded urban remnants to wild foraged materials I have built up a unique paintbox of colours.

The act of searching for these colours forces me to approach the environment with a bold investigation, and is as much part of the process as the resulting palette.

Special thanks to Fellipe Lopes for creating this video. It’s always a pleasure collaborating.
Check out his website to his documentary journalism.
