The Carbon Sink Art Project Phase 2 : continuation of work started in Phase 1, direct line of exploration from making inks, paints and casting materials, made from home made biochar and eggshell pigment to rethinking my mark making surfaces and making my own paper from the discards of every day life, be it from domesticity, agricultural or industrial processes.

This is where I work in the mornings from May to September. This is where I find myself sourcing a lot of the materials I process and work with in the afternoons in my studio. We just processed Daikon radishes and the greens were so fibrous that I took a tub home and cast with it in old Gelatin metal moulds.
My world is so green right now, it's so hard to imagine otherwise. chlorophyll, "any member of the most important class of pigments involved in photosynthesis, the process by which light energy is converted to chemical energy through the synthesis of organic compounds. Chlorophyll is found in virtually all photosynthetic organisms, including green plants, cyanobacteria, and algae. It absorbs energy from light; this energy is then used to convert carbon dioxide to carbohydrates." www.britannica.com/science/chlorophyll
