"Sew Me a New World" is a powerful visual commentary on the destructive impact of industrial production and manufacturing on the global environment. Within the compact frame of the artwork, a compelling narrative unfolds, as an abstract depiction of a sewing machine morphs seamlessly into a factory spewing pollution onto a map of the world. Using a bold combination of acrylics and spray paint, the artist captures the frenetic energy of industrialization, with jagged lines and vibrant colors evoking the chaotic machinery of production. Subtle hints of embroidery add texture and depth to the composition, infusing it with an additional layer of symbolism. At the center of the piece, the sewing machine-turned-factory serves as a poignant metaphor for the relentless pursuit of mass production at the expense of environmental sustainability. The billowing clouds of pollution emanating from its smokestacks cast a shadow over the map below, symbolizing the widespread ecological devastation wrought by human activity. The map, rendered in abstract form, serves as a universal canvas onto which the consequences of industrialization are starkly illustrated. From the sprawling metropolises of developed nations to the pristine landscapes of remote regions, no corner of the globe is untouched by the impacts of pollution and resource depletion. "Sew Me a New World" is a call to action, urging viewers to confront the urgent need for systemic change in the way we approach manufacturing and consumption. It challenges us to reconsider our priorities and embrace more sustainable practices that honor the delicate balance of the natural world. In the face of escalating environmental crises, the artwork reminds us that we hold the power to stitch together a brighter future—one that preserves the beauty and diversity of our planet for generations to come.

What inspires me ? The mind-blowing complexity of human emotions and wildlife. Self-taught Anglo-French abstract artist, based in Ireland and the UK. My goal is to raise awareness about the beauty of the world and the finite aspect of life, by integrating fragments of dreams and elements of fauna & flora across my portfolio, combined with bold geometric shapes. I use colour psychology to find the right assemblage of colours to sooth and satisfy minds. Most of my available pieces are shown in my website portfolio, commissions only available for special events.
