Martin Hill carbon neutral cards


Improving sustainable design standards in product manufacturing has been the main objective of this work, so we are pleased to announce a carbon neutral range of stationery products featuring four Martin Hill sculpture images has been published by Museums and Galleries UK for international markets.
Any unavoidable CO2 emissions created in the production and distribution of the EDEN range are assessed and offset to net zero in partnership with The CarbonNeutral Company. The paper is naturally scented and the cellobags are manufactured from cornstarch.
These benchmark products gives Martin great satisfaction and makes him hopeful that this is just the beginning of a transformation of all publishing to meet or exceed these higher standards.
For more information about the materials and processes go to www.beaconpress.co.uk
 

Martin Hill - sculpture making in Mt Aspiring National Park


We recently enjoyed four days of great weather and awe inspiring landscapes while hiking over the Cascade Saddle and down the Dart Valley in Mt Aspiring National Park in the South Island of New Zealand.
Starting from The Matukituki Valley there is a steep and exposed climb to a high alpine basin 1500m above with dramatic views of Mt Aspiring and the Dart Glacier.
Camping alone in this mountain wilderness was the highlight of the journey because we experienced the changing weather and light in the high mountains all around us.
Waking to clear skies and a pink dawn was an opportunity to make and photograph this simple sculpture with quartz stones on a mossy green tarn.
