Making eco-friendly art with Scott Denholm [117]
I took this week off while Alice hosted Scott Denholm, a rapidly emerging and award winning ocean artist, living on Australia's Sunshine Coast. His love of the natural world first inspired his art, and also inspired him to find ways of reducing his environmental impact. Now he has gathered a decade of research into The Artist Guide to Eco Friendly Art.
We know this is an area of concern for many of us, so have a listen and then ask if there are any changes you want to bring to your practice. Which materials make a greener choice? Does it matter what canvas you choose? What else might you want to consider around packaging and marketing? The book is a thorough guide with links and suppliers and will save you loads of time. So if this is something you have been meaning to look into, it is a great start.Every decision adds to the impact we are making, so Scott's advice is just to start with ONE thing... what will be yours?
