Installation Materials and process
Materials and Process
I collected recycled plastic materials obtained by saving the packaging from my consumption of goods. I cleaned, cut, sewed, stitched and bound the plastic into panels using household items such as string, thread, tape, lamination, and glue to fasten. The aim was to overpackage the packaging and create panels that could form a booth and serve as a substrate or screen for video projection. Intermingled with the recycling are photographs on acetate of natural and urban environments. Sample of panel in studio on the right. Easch panel is 32 by 42 inches.

Synthetic Nature Photographic Series
The process to create the digital photographs of plastic included projecting through recycled plastic using an old school overhead projector. I took digital photographs of the images that were projected on the wall and altered them in photoshop. I used a household label maker to type words related to the environment and sustainability.
