How can we find a sustainable balance within a creator’s urge to create?

This project poses an alternative solution to this inevitable problem by creating a system called give & take, built on a basis of exchange and education.

give & take facilitates spaces that house the cyclical exchange of existing and in-progress artworks, creating a new mode of recycling specifically for the creative community. These spaces of recirculation include pop ups, events, and the launch of a local artwork recycling closet in Brooklyn: a more independent mode of exchange similar to the community fridge model.

give & take hosts workshops centered around material education and also houses a digital space promoting sustainable material guidance, while consciously navigating the means of building a low-tech website and sustainable advertising through the use of thoughtful colors, accessible type and file sizes:

Recipes for Sustainability is a collection of sourced and written recipes of sustainability, ranging from natural dyes to biomaterials, compiled into a risograph printed zine that uses soy-based ink. The zine uses open sourced and custom type made from found shapes and scans of the various ingredients directly from the risograph scanning bed in an effort to limit file storage.

As a process oriented project exploring the rabbit hole of making sustainable printed matter, the summary of the extended process can be found on the final spread.

The open source, digital copy of the complete zine can be found here.

For this studio project at Parsons School of Design, I created an experimental piece combining abstract video and animation to depict personal elements of childhood using concepts of home, color, comfort and tension.
