I'm Lisa Marconi, a Dublin-based interior designer with a longstanding interest in materials, colour and composition.

For years I've been fascinated by the beauty of discarded pencil sharpenings - their colour, texture and delicate forms - and the possibility of using them to create large-scale works of art.

I'm now beginning that process. This website documents the work as it develops and explains how you can contribute discarded pencil sharpenings to the project.
