Giving a Forest Back Its Voice... Making Riparian Chimes
Hi, my name is Cory and I'm an artist inspired by ecology and the natural world around us. This video shows the start to finish process of creating my sculpture, Riparian Echoes. This entire project was inspired by the thought of giving a voice back to a local forest that is masked by noise pollution. This particular Riparian forest is riddled with graffiti, chain link fences, a highway, a railway, an industrial factory, and construction all around the perimeter. The human footprint is a big one, but it's the extreme human interaction here that set a light bulb off. In order to give a voice back to the forest, I decided to create a sculpture of chimes foraged from the forest floor. You'll hear the chimes in the video, but if you really want a good listen check out the audio link on my portfolio website (corymorrisonart.com/riparian-echoes).
Thanks for checking out what I do!

Making Ink From Leaves... DIY Leaf Ink!
zhlédnutí 271KPřed rokem
Hi, my name is Cory and I'm an artist that uses nature as a medium. A lot of times I like to DIY my own paper from grass or in this case leaves. Every time I make paper from plants, I'm left with a residual "tea" (not for consumption!) that I've always wanted to try and use for something else. Since in my last video I made paper out of leaves, I wanted to show you how I used the left over liqui...
Can Leaves Be Turned Into Paper? DIY Experimental Leaf Paper
zhlédnutí 515KPřed rokem
Hi, my name is Cory and I am an artist who makes environmental and ecological inspired art. In this video I try making paper out of leaves for the first time - a kind of paper making experiment! I've made grass paper before, but leaf pulp ended up being way different. Apart from a few specifics, the process was the same as making grass paper though! Even though there were a ton of challenges, t...
Making Plant Paper From Wild Fall Grass... and Making Art Out of It

Hi, my name is Cory and I am an artist who makes environmental and ecological inspired artwork. Almost a year ago I made a video about making DIY homemade plant paper from green spring grass. In this video, I get a bit more detailed with the process (especially as I've gotten more practice making paper!), this time using the dry, dead, and golden-yellow grass that decorates California's hills d...
Making Recycled Paper... and Trying My DIY Deckle and Mould for the First Time!

Hi, my name is Cory and I am an artist who makes environmental and ecological inspired artwork. This video is just one part of my learning journey in making paper (grass paper actually). Although I've made grass paper successfully before, my goal is to make better and bigger paper! Here, I'm trying out my diy deckle and mould to make sure it actually works. Eventually it will be a key tool in a...
Experimental Prints on Grass Paper: Film Free Decal vs. Cyanotype

Hey there, my name is Cory and I am an artist who makes environmental and ecological inspired artwork. Almost 8 months ago I worked on a project where I made homemade paper from plants (well grass to be exact!) and printed digital photography onto it simply by running it through my laser printer. But laser printers have their limitations, so in this video I experiment with two different techniq...
Making a Mould and Deckle... for Future Papermaking Projects!
zhlédnutí 19KPřed rokem
Hey everyone, my name is Cory and I am an artist who makes environmental and ecological inspired artwork. Lately I've been really into paper making... specifically paper made from plants! A few videos back I handmade paper from grass and printed on it! That work was only 6x9 inches, so in the near near future I am planning on revisiting the idea with a slightly new spin and at a much larger sca...

With temperatures reaching well above 100F daily, it is a constant struggle for an artist who makes work in and with nature. Instead ...

    you should get a mixing drill and a bucket for pulping, will save you a ton of time

  • @annalizacalceta383

    Thanks Cory! Here in the Philippines, we are just starting to create something from wastes and we've seen leaves as one option because these are very available everywhere, I am linked with the transport sectors and informalized vendors while doing nursing. Thanks very informative.

    you can make paper of literally anything!! but the most important is turning it into a pulp too much printed papers? No problem! turn them into a clear paper with no texts or anything!! its my best method yet i havent made any paper because it kept failing, but for you! it might come in better

    I've made a bottle of maple leaf ink from last year's fallen leaves, just now reappearing with the melting snow. As a natural fungicide to prevent mold: cloves and clove powder, which also make the house smell great while the "tea" was being boiled down. 😋 Something else I did: I strained it several times through coffee filters add paper towels to get out any fine sediment. Trust me - there was a lot of it. Best wishes from Vermont 🍁

    anyone on here think if i mixed in "normal" like thicker sketch pad paper im thinking like cardstock that it would create a surface that could be written on with a pen. my girl friend is very much into nature and art that i think she would love a note pad made from grass and i could bind it with some cedar sheets. just an idea if anyone sees this any thoughts?

  • @valentinpenadonaire3226
    @valentinpenadonaire3226 Před měsícem

    well, this one IS the content I was looking for: I'm pursuing a career in science, and I'm an amateur artist, so y'all can figure I use a lot of ink... Being so, I wanted to find a more sustainable alternative than just pens, hence I turned to writing/drawing with a fountain pen and india ink (as to get rid of having to waste pen carcasses). Soon I realised, I would generate a lot of waste by buying ink continuously. So this is probably my last piece towards a near-zero-emissions note-taking and drawing/painting 🙂 tysm, greetings from Chile!

    Incredible. God created so much nature for humans that we can use to survive and make lots of awesome creations like paper made from grass a concept i had never heard of before. Mind blowing.
