Hi my name is Bizzy, I would describe myself as a textile artist with a passion for sustainability and environmental welfare. My interest in the environment is my main motivator and what all my best work comes back to.
The purpose of this project was to highlight the importance of having a connection with our environment, supposing that if people maintained a good relationship with the environment that they would look after it better. I planned and organised a creative workshop through which I was able to start a conversation with others about environmental awareness and their own relationships with the environment. The proposed, two-part, workshop plan began with an outdoor period involving storytelling followed by quiet relaxation time and discussion with participants. The second part of the workshop then covered two creative activities, paper making and a rune design activity. Participants were encouraged to continue their discussion on the prompts with one another.
