Aphra Shemza is a new media artist exploring the impact and legacy of technology in our world. As an artist and activist, her work sparks conversation and seeks to find solutions for sustainable creative practice. Shemza works predominantly with abstraction, interactivity and light. She uses traditional sculpting techniques, working with wood and plastic, combining them with the latest technology to create her work.

Solutions for a Sustainable Art Practice was created in response to the Art Council’s Developing Your Creative Practice Grant. Her bespoke artist development program ran for three months, allowing her the opportunity to pursue a focused investigation into finding practical, sustainable alternatives to the materials she uses to make her work.

Taking her two core materials of wood and plastic, Shemza participated in a number of workshops designed to teach her the skills she needs to work with sustainable hardwood and build her own plastic recycling machines, creating new materials from waste products. Through the workshops, she learnt invaluable skills which she not only used to create a series of new work but also created new ways of generating materials to sustain her practice for years to come.
