PRODUCING THE MATERIALS

Intenature Art is produced by suspending pigments such as ground clays, ochre, charcoal, verdigris, gypsum and oyster shell in a vehicle of linseed oil and pine gum. Processed as little as possible I use these crude paints to produce stylized images in order to paint environmentally inspired subjects onto handmade paper.

Wherever possible the fibers used to produce the paper are locally sourced and pertain to the subject of the painting in some way.

The frames also are made (wherever possible) from reclaimed material such as old fence posts or flotsam that has washed up on the beach.

Each painting is sold with an accompanying Provenance Document containing information regarding the inspiration for the work, what materials were used in the manufacture and a copy of the purchase agreement. Here is an example of the provenance document that accompanies the painting Chivvy, with the purchaser having agreed to undertake 50 hours doing data analysis for the Catlins Bat Project in order to take possession.

PAY THE TRUE COST

The objective of Intenature Art is to highlight the need for humanity to pay the true cost of removing resources from their natural habitat. Under the capitalist system a purchaser is required to pay a fair and equitable price for a product or service but does not have to account for the impact their taking of natural resources will have on the wellbeing of other life forms or the damage it may do to the environment. Earthlore’s INTENATURE ART - ECO ACTION is designed to counter this mind set by having you sign a contract agreeing to undertake a set amount of hours working to benefit the environment in order to purchase my artwork – preferably in order to replenish the resources taken.
