Carbon Credits
What began as a search for the right ‘neutral’ mat boards for picture framing clients, led me on an exploration of black and white as colour, through medium, pigment and value. Research on black pigment led to carbon, suggesting the Carbon Credit.
“the right to emit one tonne of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gas with CO2 equivalent to one tonne of CO2”
AKA the the right to pollute—packaged as a corporate commodity to be purchased, traded on the global market and promoted as progress. Carbon Credits represents real assets, with an inherent value that cannot be measured by the vicissitudes of the marketplace.
