Sandra Hansen, MFA  

ARTNOMAD 

When Sandra Hansen became an Eco artist in 2014 she began painting about environmental issues. She then moved to creating art from plastic bags.  Sandra wanted to become more environmentally sound in her art practice. In 2015 she fell in love with the magic of creating something translucent from leaves and bark. Handmade paper is completely environmentally sound and can be absolutely gorgeous. Its rich texture and its delicate gauzy effects are amazing. Paper has the ability to bring alive the horrendous problems of water pollution simply by putting plastic bags into the pulp. Paper is exceedingly versital as well and can be used in many multimedia objects and hangings. 

Handmade Paper, and found objects

"A Drop of Water" was created at Semi Space, an artist residency outside of Beijing, China.  One drop of water is as important as all drops of water.  It must be protected and kept clean for the sake of human life.  Each drop is tiny, but gathered together drops of water can fill oceans.
