Waste Gateway at the Sustainable Living Festival


I present to you The Waste Gateway made for 

The Sustainable Living Festival 2018 
Great Local Lunch


 Installing the archway

The theme of the Sustainable Living Festival this year was about Food Waste and was delighted to be able to participate once again in this festival which is very meaningful to me and I am grateful for the 4th year to be been making temporal sculptural assemblages.
For this year I wanted to create a more immersive assemblage that people would respond to. The archway was created thanks to the many of the SLF volunteers, friends and neighbours who kept collecting through summer for this creation hundreds of fruit or vegetable plastic packaging. These single-use transparent punnets were assembled with used white packaging straps gathered. The idea was to thread the punnets onto the plastic straps as skewers and attached to an archway to create the entrance to the Great Local Lunch 2018 arena space at Birrarrung Marr. After a few little adjustments, the archway went up!

Facts 689 punnets -
That is a lot of cherry tomatoes and berries eaten this summer in Melbourne!

Watching this documentary is music to our ears and a total and absolute pleasure to watch. I highly recommend it for all young and older public. Below are some exerts of the commentary read by Pierce Brosnan. A little bit at a time new forms of life ripple the waters of the world, spreading and multiplying adapting and evolving Pollution runs out of rivers spilling (as can be seen by satellite) We have littered the oceans with hundreds of thousands of trash spilling poison around. Sculpture III 2013 Copper and Found Black Plastic Human 'objects' challenge each creature to find new place or new ways to survive. Human indifference is surely the Ocean greatest threat. Every Breath We Take Every Drop We Drink Depends on a Healthy Ocean

Dismantling

There it is the dismantling of a 3 weeks show and we are please and feel that the exhibition Regurgitate. It certainly allowed people to enter our realm of interest, in pausing, for a moment, their thoughts to things they may not have seen, thought of ... or were indifferent to All plastic items in the show were found on the beach Human indifference is the worse thing that can happen and in a way that is  where we have come to in this super fast world The oceans are polluted by our plastic and consumer waste that will never disappear .... until.....  we take responsibility in  create recycling plants through out the world but first thing first,  How about in Australia!!! We need to use less plastic and replace it with items that are made of metal or glass  and that are recyclable  Painting on canvas behind mobile of purified bottles utilised by drug addicts Spoons and lids from drink pop-up bottles And the more responsible thing to do, would be
