Artist Statement
The juxtaposition of pollution and nature is a sight we often encounter in our everyday lives. We have slowly conditioned ourselves to disregard small pieces of trash that we see, whether that be on a sidewalk or a forest. In my work, the plastic emerges as an organic form amongst the trees. The two forms, natural and unnatural, become almost indistinguishable. Through the use of colour and inversion, the articles of plastic and nature become one, demonstrating how there is a delicate balance of human impact on the environment.
