Hi friends! Art and design major, studying social media here at the university of Michigan, and here’s a picture of me manipulating waste plastic to create something reminiscent of unwieldy telephone chords and the final product it was used for. This is a school project that helped us think of our creative process, exhausting all of the ways that we can work with waste plastic.
The final piece is called “Watermelon Phone”, and it’s meant to start a conversation around single use plastics. This project highlights the way that single use plastics (ie. bottle, fork, candy wrappers, etc) are superficially altered to fit our needs, then become useless, and are more complicated than helpful when trying to recycle it. Just as this Watermelon Phone can only uselessly receive a signal through the hanger without a dial function, we can receive the single use from the plastic without giving back to the earth in return.
