Sustainability Policy 

Over the last few years my creative practises have developed a much stronger interest in issues of ethics, philosophy and sustainability, from my writing to my artwork across the board my practise has changed to be more environmentally responsible and aware.

In 2007 I started to create an artwork that took my studio waste and turned it into an artwork, the result was an artwork that continuously grew for over 5 years, this project then went on to influence multiple other artworks in similar ways, over the last 3 years I have been taking steps to be more sustainable and reduce my carbon footprint by using less electricity, calculating the exact quantities of materials needed so I did not produce any excess at all and recycling past projects into new work.

In 2010 my growing concerns with the lack of action around issues of global warming and consumption of finite resources within society and especially within the arts community; this led me to start investigating and writing about these issues as well as other global issues, I started looking at global trends, cultural acts/ behaviours, Government structures, societal constructs and our global inter-connectedship I ended up producing papers exploring topics like:
How food can be used to shape cultures.
Ethics in Contemporary Art.
Philosopher over Ethicist.
Sustainability and the creative industry.

In one of the documents I outline ways the creative industry can reduce its carbon emissions and implement more sustainable and environmental responsible practices within all creative industries, setting future ambitions to shift all creative practises towards being carbon neutral whilst also using culture to positively influencing society towards change.
In 2012 I returned to Australia to start up a not-for-profit company that takes what I have written and puts it into action to not only reduce emissions and raise awareness of sustainability, but to also change cultural behaviours to build more socially engaged and responsible communities.
