I’m not one to keep junk or unwanted items or materials around, but I had a look around my house anyway only to find old scraps of paper and paper bags, which lead me to my great idea – nature’s wasteland. The season is now Autumn and the outdoors is currently a sea of fallen leaves. I gathered up different colours, sizes, and varieties of leaves, dead plants, and broken twigs. While doing so, I had a think about what I could create with these. A few ideas came to mind, but one idea stuck, grew, and became final.

Below you can see my ideas in the form of sketches, the final artwork, a process video, and a mind map I constructed prior to writing my artist statement, followed by the artist statement itself.
