Discarded 20, Constellation 1

This work shows my preoccupation with waste production.  My work has always been simplistic and minimal, only containing what is necessary, but this has now upgraded to my fear of producing more waste that will fill up landfills and strangle our wildlife and oceans.  The photolithographic plates used for Discarded were destined for the trash.  Each plate is bent and detailed by hand and the end sculpture shown is made of 20 individual pieces.  The work is put together on site. The site specific nature of the work is so important and plays a key role in the energy of the work. The work speaks of the deep abyss and void that is sucking the world away.

It can be shown in any number (up to 26 pieces) and in any kind of space.
