I am submitting two works of art that were both created in ecologically sustainable ways. The first work, ”Unraveling” is made from found fabric that is printed with ink made from handmade natural inks and dyes of branch and trash images found in my Brooklyn neighborhood. The second work, ”Seeking, Grounding” is made from reused torn sheets dyed with my used tea bags. Both works hang from tree branches found on my street and both works promote the idea of using yard waste and found materials to create art.

“Unraveling” is made from torn found fabric that is printed with ink made from handmade natural inks and dyes of branch and trash images found in my Brooklyn neighborhood. This piece raises awareness about the idea of using found materials like reused textiles and found yard waste to create art.
an unraveling
frayed and torn
in the streets
where I live
a block from the
east river
trash strewn
ultimately it will flow
down the street
into the water
and out to sea
“Seeking, Grounding” is made from reused torn sheets dyed with my used tea bags. It hangs from a tree branch found on my street and promotes the idea of using yard waste and found materials to create art.
