“Using paperbark in my artwork creates a profound connection to nature that transcends the boundaries of conventional artistry. As I meticulously weave thin strips of paperbark together, I am reminded of the tactile sensation and earthy aroma of the bushland from where it originates. The very act of gathering this bark allows me to immerse myself in natural landscapes, fostering a deep appreciation for the intricate beauty of nature. Incorporating this organic material into my creations serves as a metaphorical bridge between the human world and the natural realm, reminding me of the interconnectedness we share with our environment. Each carefully placed layer of paperbark becomes a tribute to the delicate balance and fragility of our Earth. The Paperbark Collection urges people to rediscover their own connection to the awe-inspiring wonders that surround us.”
