Drape @ VCA Artspace gallery 2024
"Drape" is a site-responsive installation made from salvaged polystyrene, dissolved, pigmented and cast using handmade clay molds. The panels, connected by cable ties, symbolise the destructive cycle of capitalism, waste and environmental degradation. Polystyrene, a ubiquitous and toxic material, embodies both the organic origins of fossil fuels and the synthetic reality of modern production. Through scale and repetition, Drape explores the psychological and physical effects of consumerism, revealing the pervasive presence of plastics in our environment and bodies.
