100% waste: used hairdresser's foils, used magazines and leftover fabric, 40x75 cm.

For all wildlife, both plants and animals. 20% of land on Earth is used to raise sentient creatures for slaughter.

For the farmed creatures. They feel, they think, they love and we slaughter them for a few seconds of pleasure. Meat, milk, eggs: all contributing equally.

For our children. Because we are literally, systematically killing their future.

For us. To be better, kinder, and respect the beautiful planet we inhabit. And live healthier and longer. To save lives, and save Life 💚

100% waste: used hairdresser's foils, papers and magazines (leftovers from a commission), 85 screw caps and some fabric leftovers.

This is my 'kindest' piece so far, yet most likely the most controversial. Chances are that over 90% of you will not like its message: because in this case LOVe might be 100% rubbish, but it is also 100% Vegan.

For I love my children, and I want them to have a future. Roughly a third of carbon emissions can be cut down by going Ve🌱.

For in my books love is kind, and cannot be cruelty towards any sentient being. And going Ve🌱 is the only way.

For the world belongs to all, and it is my duty to be my best self toward it. And...yes. Ve🌱✌️

If you are kind, you choose Vegan... for there is no alternative.

Gen Ve, 2024. 100% waste: used hairdresser’s foils, newspapers, and leftover fabric, c. 110x110cm.

Just like the vibrant Art Deco font it is made in, this piece is full of potential, possibilities, and on the verge of new greatness. Watch us bring humanity to new heights, in the whirlwind of a love revolution for the survival of all creatures.

Such a kind piece, yet so controversial! Why...?

Did you know we could save one third of carbon emissions just by being kind and going Vegan? If we were looking for a magic button to press to slow down climate change, this is it!

Do you actually share the common bias that kindness for all creatures, for our children, for the planet - and for our own health! - is extreme? Or rather, do you agree that extreme is unnecessarily killing 900,000 cows, 1.4 million goats, 1.7 million sheep, 3.8 million pigs, 12 million ducks, 202 million chickens and hundreds of millions of fish every day, whilst dooming our children to extinction, and all for the sake of our tastebuds?

Join the Kindness Revolution. Be The Change. Be GenVe 💚🌱✌️

100% rubbish: Burger King packaging waste on discarded metal board, 25x20cm.

100% waste: thousands of crown caps, hundreds of corks and leftover wall paint, 277 x 92cm.

Part of my vegan series, it should probably be read “LIVee”.

In Playbill font, this quartet speaks of the Far West, easy bullets, numbing whiskey and toiled wood, where those few precious bricks were reserved for the town cell. Yet this mors tua, vita mea vibe here evolves into the Vegan symbol, pointing to exactly the opposite philosophy. For I like to believe that we have indeed come this far, where we finally understand that our individual survival is strictly connected to and dependent upon the survival of all other creatures. Where diversity is not feared and suppressed, but rather welcomed and fostered. To a new perspective on the whole: vita tua, vita nostra.

2024.

100% waste: hundreds of cans and corks nad leftove, wall paint, 140 x 31cm (or c. 45 x 100 cm).

Art Nouveau to recall La Dolce Vita, un aperitivo in piazza and a pampering dinner. The ideal of a style no longer sustainable, yet still so dearly engrained in our culture.

What does it take to swap flesh for fresh, pig for a pea, and keep it going rather than end it in flames and floods instead?

100% household waste (51x77cm).
Commission for a couple of beautiful people, made with their own beautiful waste.

Used Actimel bottles, and leftover buttons on wooden board (36x45cm).

An artificial beehive: the more we advance in every field, the more we imitate Nature’s perfection…but rather that recreating it artificially, should we not safeguard the real thing instead?

100% waste: used Actimel bottles and glass from a broken hospital window on wooden board (33.5 x 50cm).

It is fascinating to see how, the more we advance in every field, the more we imitate Nature’s perfection…but rather that recreating it artificially, should we not safeguard the real thing instead?

100% waste: 89 fruit nets on a discarded wooden panel, ~30x40cm

100% waste: 10 years' worth of unwanted cables, unclaimed or refused by the various network providers. (50x50cm)

100% 'trashure': a year worth's supply of the same medicine vial, fruit nets and used plastic cutlery (25x43cm).

Not only I wonder how long humans will be able to eat other creatures sustainably, but also how long before plastic replaces organic material substantially - either through conscious human intervention or through hormonal assimilation...

Plastic and metal, 100% reused discarded material: around 800 pins and a needle on discarded MDF shelf (32x12x6cm).

I wonder if the board feels the same?

100% crisp and popcorn packets from Adobe's 'trashure', first piece for their Art for Trash project. The trickiest material used so far. Loved the challenge! (50x50x6cm)

100% rubbish, almost entirely from dry cleaning packaging, collected over a year (50x50x10cm)

100% waste: reused corks and Actimel bottles on wooden board (44x54cm).

More plastic! Call Synthetic Pest Control

Polystyrene on metal board (20x31cm). 100% reused site material. 3rd piece of the 2017 Canary Wharf New District Residency: used tea cups from the bins of the building site cafeteria, rearranged to remind the building work often undertaken in cold weather, under drops of rain and gusts of wind, relief from which we then seek in a nice cuppa.

100% waste: discarded used plastic coffee cups, screws and nails on reused MDF board (38x22x6cm)

100% waste: a year's supply of used disposable plastic thyroid medicine vials (30x40cm).

Saving the life of one, only to doom all others by the unnecessary and continuous production of disposable plastic. The shape of the sections of the vials reminds me of the shape of hormones, the function of which this medicine is used to regulate

Mixed media and crocheting, 100% rubbish: plastic bottles, fruit nets, milk and tin lids, cork cages, old business cards, leftover yarn and buttons, zip pullers, green tea and pigments on fiberglass mesh (100x200cm).

Experimenting; trying to go big whilst keeping eco-friendly. Superlight and rollable too!

Plastic, metal, glass and natural fibres on found wooden piece (30x30x20 approx.).

Mostly reused material, with the exception of the luscious millefiori to celebrate and contrast with wood's natural beauty.

Discarded plastic, ceramic and glass on wooden board (40×40cm).

I must have been 8 and full of excitement on my way to a Carnival party when a couple of guys sneaked up to me on the street and poured a vial of smelly liquid on me. I clearly remember my mind screaming "why?" over and over for what felt like a temporal abyss, and the burning  humiliation for suffering such an injustice... traumas help us grow, but pure meanness only generates darkness. Perhaps kindness can affect  the world much deeper than we think...?

100% reused discarded material from the Canary Wharf New District building site (78x38x25cm).

Finally freed from serving you at 90 degree angles,
I am now out in the open from your walls that crumbled.
Freedom is spiralling down to the earth
and lay in a forest of a city that was.
I will outlast you, outlive you, and deride you
Patiently waiting to serve better masters.
Whether a vein in the arm of a robot
Or a twig for a bird in a nest of rebirth
I have no love for a creator who thought
He owned the world, to then self-destruct.

"Coming Out", 2018. 100% reused discarded material from the Canary Wharf New District building site.

100% reused discarded site material from the Canary Wharf New District building site: plastic, metal and fabric (50x120cm approx).

Reflections drawn from the Canary Wharf Estate, privately owned and privately guarded. Transposing it to an increasingly strong worry of my role as a mother, as to how motherly love has institutionally become almost obsessive: is keeping them in a safe and comfortable bubble becoming mama's mission, rather than equipping them with emotional and physical independence?

100% metal rubbish (52x52x10cm). Over a year's stack of metal caps and pulls.

So much potential, and not even the time to enjoy it. Screw, unscrew, throw

Days of washing (minimum amount of water) and drying (individually with a cloth), but it was all worth it!

100% waste: roughly 400 screw caps and just as many ring pulls, 50x50cm.

Delicate and aromatic, with red fruit aromas of cherry, strawberry, raspberry and tomato, and a savoury character of dried herbs, fresh bell pepper, roasted red pepper, fresh mint and pencil shavings. And the taste of home for me.

Latest gossip from the vineyards is that Cabernet Franc is no longer in fashion. Shame – although it does not stop me from considering it my favourite red varietal wine! Even more so as a vegan, whereby I now find it a great companion for nearly all dishes.

I am deeply enjoying this series, finally deploying my sommelier skills into my art practice, virtually tasting each piece I lay.

100% waste: roughly 400 screw caps and just as many ring pulls, 50x50cm.

Rich flavours of blackberry, black plums and blackcurrant with spicy, leathery and liquorice notes in hotter regions and gamey, truffle notes developing with little age.

Coonawarra Shiraz is the one I most enjoy whilst having dinner barefoot at home with damp hair, after a rainy day spent running motherly errands.

I am deeply enjoying this series, finally deploying my sommelier skills into my art practice, virtually tasting each piece I lay.

100% waste: roughly 400 screw caps and just as many ring pulls, 50x50cm.

Powerful and bold, with black fruit notes of black cherry, vegetal notes of green pepper, and spice notes of vanilla from oak ageing.

One in particular is still floating in my memory, as I recall thinking it was just 'perfect'. From Sicily, which I thought was quite unexpected for this variety!

Art for Trash commission made 100% with the clients' waste, namely their used papers and magazines, 200x75cm.

Featuring a view of mount Etna from Catania in May: orange and prickly pear blossoms, agaves and touches of broom, some snow on its top and light smoke between the clouds, warming up and melting the snow on the North side of this stunning black marvel. Sicilians proudly state that Etna is a female volcano, as it is unpredictable on where it will erupt next.

100% waste: 38 used Metro, Evening Standard and City A M. papers.

Whirls, swirls and twirls…Can't you see there's wonder in waste?

100% waste: fabric leftovers and hubby's old shirts on wood (30x30cm).

Your old shirts in a new pattern, trying to be as logic as you are. You are the Hence, and I am the But. You are the lines and I am the dots. You think and I feel, you feel and I do. I say…a world can really be made by two.

!00% waste: metal, mirror, plastic and leftover yarn on thin metal board (20x31cm).

Naked in front of you, like me as I am

Paper, plastic, metal and fabric on thin metal board (31x20cm). Mostly made with reused discarded CWND site material and reproductions of artworks from the CWND 2017 Residency.

Dedicated to all artists, visionaries, inventors, quirky ones, and the naifs whose work is born out of sheer defiance of conventions, yet depend on them for their living. In a world inundated with food pics and selfies, let's enjoy the luxury deriving from the devoted time and attention of a crit...to substance, for a change! We dread it, but we crave for it…

Screws, fruit nets, filati and marble on wooden board (41x51x6cm). Built on pieces of a jigsaw puzzle (missing one piece). Can you put them back together?

Reference to layers of artificial creations suffocating our planet. If we have the intellectual capacity to analyse and deconstruct abstract concepts, should we not be intellectually capable enough to understand the need to deconstruct structurally as well?
