 This photographic work used the Pacific ocean trash
vortex of plastic waste as a starting point to make a comment on global
environmental issues. The work investigates the alchemy of material through light projection and it
evolved through process. This image is one panel of a triptych. The miniature photographic images were accompanied by a pseudo-scientific chart on a clipboard. Is it waste material or deep-sea life? The irony of life in plastic. Artist's Statement: "…a web of associations became containers on night voyages, maps, networks and islands connected by the debris of shipping routes transform into a vortex of energy projected onto found objects, evolving into an serious investigation and a transformation of perception… Please refer to the research document: The Life Cycle of Polyethelene Terephthalate (PET) and related species." |
