This very environmentally conscious company that works with many high street brands, assisting them with resource-efficient ways of designing and developing store equipment, embracing its complete life-cycle from cradle-to-cradle has gone for a real environmental piece. The winner is James Wood of Nottingham Trent University who wins £250 for his piece Entropy 1.
In James’s own words, “My piece named entropy 1 which is a painting placed on the cross section of two pieces of wood. This painting uses different application techniques and different materials that are suitable and represent the particular part of the image being depicted.This image doesn’t depict death as final rather that an end of a life span is the beginning of another, which should be celebrated. Life does not end, it merely changes form. Just as wood and other organic matter has been turned in to fossil fuel through intense pressure and heat they could well lead to the generation of some new species diversity. This piece is showing entropy and through that is dealing heavily with sustainability because in theory of entropy is the ultimate sustainability of everything.”
