‘This large scale collage was a personal reflection on my own environmental impact as an artist. I collected remnant resin over a period of months and was shocked at how much waste i was presented with. I incorporated this into the work and as a result had to re-evaluate my own practice. I adore the medium of resin due to its sensory tactile nature. The idea that objects can effectively be captured, as a moment in time like a treasured memory really resonates with me. However, as a result of this very literal realisation, I have decided to explore different mediums for my future collections. I felt like this piece is a very honest, confessional awakening, that is both thought provoking and beautiful.’ Hannah Aria
