Hand-made embellishment using 100% used (and cleaned!) plastic bottles & packaging.





Plastics lying around are just the tip of the iceberg. Despite vast recycling systems in place across the UK, even the ‘widely recyclable’ PET plastic bottles often do not obtain their recyclable promise. I'd like to show how value can be added to the most ubiquitous materials, even when using the very simplest of tools and processes.

Imagine a world where incoming plastic waste is routinely upcycled, elevated to the realms of tradition, prestige, and continuity. Emphasis here sits on how we choose to value the material, rather than how material taxonomy chooses us. These bespoke status symbols reflect our time now, and can be seen as an access point to unpacking the conversation about rethinking what we do.
