Hey, hey! More eco art anyone? I wanted to share this ongoing series of drawings which were done in response to my work in straw bale building from 2006-2008.

I worked as a laborer for Furbish, Co, Baltimore, MD to build a 27,000 sqft straw bale Friends Community School in College Park, MD. Straw bale building is a technique using bales of straw which are produced as a byproduct of an industrial rye harvest. This straw is not the same as hay & is mostly inedible so when it isn’t being used for animal bedding it becomes a waste product & is burned. Building with this industrial byproduct diverts a massive carbon footprint (by not burning) while diverting the use of highly polluting/extractive conventional construction methods & materials.
