Eco-friendly art reusing industrial waste metal for the canvas of my work. This piece is called ‘Free Spirit’ harking back to Manchester’s historic music scene of Factory Records and Hacienda.

I have drawn in pencil on industrial waste metal. I loved the scratches, marks and colour matching charts on the metal, all giving an insight into it’s previous life. Using graphite pencil highlighted these marks instead of concealing them , creating a decorative feature to the piece. This discarded piece of metal has now been reused with an exciting and new purpose. Look closely and you will see the individually hand drawn people dancing away.

Printing from the original piece of metal, I have blurred the image to create a nightclub atmosphere. Finally I chose a yellow Hacienda tint to the finished print. You will receive a black and white giclee print on A4 paper and mounted. It is important to me that my work has little or no impact on the environment whilst still creating an exceptionally high print standard. Therefore, I have chosen to print on 300gsm Cotton Rag fine art paper, made from scrap cotton t-shirts and off cuts.
