SCULPTURE

THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD

The Earth is overwhelmed by non-biodegradable waste, landfill is full and a single-use plastic bag will take over 200 years to decompose. Using wool to represent nature and plastic bag yarn to wrap around and smother the wool, my abstract Earth sculpture will form the centrepiece of an immersive installation. 

I invite you to watch the Earth turn slowly and to listen to sales assistants from countries around the globe asking if you would like a bag with your shopping. The soundscape represents the volume of people leaving shops with single-use plastic bags, adding to the global issue of plastic pollution.
