Artist Description Of Their Work And/Or Studio
My passion is working with natural and constructed materials, keeping them out of the waste cycle. I enjoy finding natural forms in wood off-cuts, challenging myself to make the tiniest scrap into something fun or beautiful. The materials I use are sustainable as much as possible, sourcing re-used, waste or leftover items with potential. I make both useful and whimsical objects, from birds, to bird houses, nesting boxes, garden sculptures, log reindeer, boxes, ornaments, bowls, jewellery, papier- mâché and more.
Artist Biography
“After a lifetime of being creative, covid lockdowns gave me the time to expand my interest in wood carving and wire scultpure. Opportunities to exhibit at various venues, including STARTS Box Gallery, CTC, Pop-up and more led to winning 4th prize for papier-mâché in Wollondilly Waste to Art 2023. I’m part of a nurturing and encouraging group of artists that meets regularly.” Linda Jane Burgess
