The resilience of our biosphere depends on an ecoliterate human society. Plastic has fascinating properties with both beneficial and harmful histories we are only beginning to fully understand. It is abundant, pliable, and durable, even archival in an awful way. Through experimentation with found plastic packaging as a primary medium, I explore ways we might regenerate and deepen our understanding of ecological systems on which our lives depend.
