The coloured paper used in the collage works is almost all Daler-Rowney Canford paper. I'm advised the wood pulp used to produce these products comes from managed forests in Europe and North America. The trees in this forest are harvested and replanted specifically for paper production, and on an annual basis, more trees are planted than are felled. The trees are not rainforest or endangered hardwood species. Apparently the paper can be classified as chlorine free, as only oxygen or chlorine dioxide bleached pulps are used. I love the colours the papers come in, and use almost every scrap! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aa003a2c3c16a8bce0b015e/1520438632114-B9FIMBFL55TT68FYHSE9/Pollen%2C+Joy+%26+Flight.jpg Solar Sisters - Copy of Pollen, Joy & Flight i Ink and pencil on paper, A5 (2017). https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5aa003a2c3c16a8bce0b015e/5aa00d3bc830252adbd86024/5be503434fa51a10ca9ab55c/1541736011513/ Solar Sisters https://nikapsilva.com/twinhorizons daily 0.75 2018-11-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aa003a2c3c16a8bce0b015e/1520438711796-EM5S1FVRW2VWF9IXBCOQ/Pete%2C+Phil+And+Bart+Power+It+To+Saadiyat.JPG Twin Horizons - Pete, Phil and Bart Power It to Saadiyat Oil on canvas, 90 x 120 cm (2017). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aa003a2c3c16a8bce0b015e/1520438711796-EM5S1FVRW2VWF9IXBCOQ/Pete%2C+Phil+And+Bart+Power+It+To+Saadiyat.JPG Twin Horizons - Pete, Phil and Bart Power It to Saadiyat Oil on canvas, 90 x 120 cm (2017). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aa003a2c3c16a8bce0b015e/1520439235285-STTI0MVRPFSOOOTWS7VO/Dawn%2C+Drive%2C+2049.jpg Twin Horizons - Dawn, Drive, 2049 Oil on canvas, 90 x 120 cm (2017).     https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aa003a2c3c16a8bce0b015e/1521184845278-FXVQSTT5CF0G5K6ASX5S/Blaze+Across+The+Bay.jpg Twin Horizons - Blaze Across The Bay Oil on canvas, 90 x 120 cm (2017). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aa003a2c3c16a8bce0b015e/1520440157897-XTT3Q27UM2HGWVA1GR23/Sunseekers+Hit+The+Corniche.jpg Twin Horizons - Sun Seekers Hit The Corniche Oil on canvas, 80 x 120 cm (2017). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aa003a2c3c16a8bce0b015e/1520438911601-NQ9ZASDAAUL9DMBGXLWG/NIkaSilva_TusksOfOurFathers_2018_6100AED.jpg Twin Horizons - The Tusks Of Our Fathers Oil and acrylic on canvas, 70 x 90 cm (2018). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aa003a2c3c16a8bce0b015e/1520680735932-KC9K8W9SQMZILOJ6O0LB/IMG_4647+2.JPG Twin Horizons - Your Sprit Animal Also Needs Water Acrylic on canvas and ink on paper, 75 x 90 cm (2018). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aa003a2c3c16a8bce0b015e/1523399798657-A6N3I7GF3SKL1AEVOE4V/Not+Yet+Hot+Like+Venus.jpg Twin Horizons - Not Yet Hot Like Venus Oil and acrylic on canvas, 50 x 60 cm (2018). Painting showing spring weather in the early morning and early evening, along Battersea Park in London, and reflecting on how the temperature on Earth will never become like that on Venus. Stephen Hawking said last year that the Earth could become like Venus "with a temperature of 250 degrees [Celsius], and raining sulfuric acid", in response to the announcement of the US's withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord. Scientists say this is unlikely (i.e., the oceans are unlikely to boil away, like what might have happened on Venus). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aa003a2c3c16a8bce0b015e/1521209300397-QP40OOPM45JGA5W07CF9/Prime.jpg Twin Horizons - Portrait Of A Man In His Prime Acrylic on canvas, 60 x 90 cm (2018). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aa003a2c3c16a8bce0b015e/1521187684962-0W5Z9YUIPZPO4N10PU1U/Come+Double+Kayak.jpg Twin Horizons - Come Double Kayak In The Mangroves Oil on canvas board, 60 x 80 cm (2017).   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aa003a2c3c16a8bce0b015e/1521642340458-0FKS5A5ICCTRYX90XHDE/An+Ovoid+Dream.JPG Twin Horizons - An Ovoid Dream of Electric Seas Acrylic on canvas board, 40 x 60 cm (2017). https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5aa003a2c3c16a8bce0b015e/5aa00d9aec212da6464b8c4c/5ad3975c88251b90ed4e1723/1523816284209/ Twin Horizons https://nikapsilva.com/wordup daily 0.75 2018-11-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aa003a2c3c16a8bce0b015e/1523816189864-1V7KBLSFLH1Z9ROBVCUY/IMG_6437.jpg Word Art Paintings and Collages https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aa003a2c3c16a8bce0b015e/1520679957618-WMUZ4NYMILYSWNJH959W/NikaSilva_BirthOfBeachBunny_2018_5800AED.JPG Word Art Paintings and Collages - Birth Of Beach Bunny Mixed media on canvas (Acrylic, oil, imitation bronze leaf), ink on paper, and moveable velvet-covered magnetic letters.

Words are on each canvas, spelled out by velvet-covered magnetic letters. These can be moved across sections of the canvas with the aid of a steel plate fixed to the canvas frame. Each word represents a role, or rôle, that a woman (and sometimes a man) might have in society or in narrative.
