Amended

The past years confronted me with the pressure of continuously making new things. Rather than creating for the sake of creating and consuming materials, I decided to explore ways of creating and re-creating with existing resources, inspired by the shapes of roadside waste.

"Amended" is a pair of unique furniture pieces made of used polystyrene packaging.

By repurposing packaging, they acquire a new function, and thus value. They become useful, whilst retaining their recognisability as waste products of consumerist, unsustainable and destructive making processes. Rather than personifying sustainable practices, I see this project as a way to start a dialogue about consuming, making and value. Trash? Leftovers? Function? Recycle? Nonsense? New? Reuse? Waste? Surplus? Value? Beautiful? Ugly? Useful? Garbage?
