Living Micro-plastics (2015)
Acrylic paints and black marker on plexiglass
(each slide) 5.25" x 5"

Living Micro-plastics explores the relationship humanity has come to have with the natural world and how we strive to recreate its intricacy, only to fall short with our artificial and controlled materials. Looking at microscopic images of micro-plastics in our oceans, I displayed them in a bold and colourful way as slides on the wall, referencing scientific and biological fields of study while using chemically created neon colours. These "slides" draw the viewer in as beautiful and life-like forms, however, everything viewed comes from an artificial basis and therefore what the viewer is looking at is nothing organic at all.
