The beauty of waste material being reimagined during a play session, a purposeful process focusing on approaching the discarded materials from our community's consumption with compassion and patience instead of contempt for what these represent.
By giving breathing space to waste material, these have a chance to become anew with lots of capability for charm and depth. The ultimate purpose is to invite a shift in our perception on the potential of the waste and how we can reimagine it into something of beauty.
Furthermore, this body of work materialises into a series of optimistic archeological finds off our times, with rhythmic hand-cut and whimsical mark making to create unique objects.
This methodology is a poetic act of rebellion, a challenge to our current consumer habits and the status quo; now more poignant than ever. By going back to basics and making something with our hands like our ancestors did to survive. By connecting to this visceral bond between the maker/material and how this playful methodology is a tool to foster joy; a powerful life-force that can only be nurtured within ourselves.
