More Recycling

From receptacle to receptacle; these containers were made for an exhibition a few years ago.  Whilst I am on the subject of recycling I thought they would be perfect to include here.

Plastic has featured in my work on numerous occasions through the years. This project was for a Gallery Exhibition challenge and I wanted to use plastic in a completely new fashion. Worn out ’ bags for life’ were cut and refashioned  into 1ply and 2ply plastic ‘wool’ for knitting the vessels. The wrapped ‘sweets’ were an afterthought but were a good way to use up the last of the plastic.

It was an extremely time consuming process but hugely satisfying to see waste plastic transformed and reinvented anew.
