Ridiculous Rubbish Rabbit core
Ridiculous Rubbish Rabbit
Plastic packaging seems to breed like rabbits.
Ridiculous Rubbish Rabbit is an extension of the Rubbish Rabbit collection of pearls in the shape of life sized rabbits. Utilizing the non-recyclable single-use packaging, straws, and utensils as a plastic (irritant) core. Then wrapped in reused aluminum foil to hand mold life size armatures of adult and baby rabbits. This oversized rabbit is coated by hand with a weatherproof concrete sculpting medium to allow the sculptures to be able to live outdoors year round.
Plastic Pearl Project
As the primary homemaker and caretaker of my family I engage with most of the food and household packaging. Frustrated with the overwhelming amount of non-recyclable packaging and inspired by nature, at the end of 2019, I decided to act like a mollusk, taking an agitator - non-recyclable packaging that passes through my home and turning it into pearls.
"IT'S WELL KNOWN THAT PEARLS ARE THE RESULT OF PARASITES OR BITS OF GRIT THAT IRRITATE A BIVALVE'S SOFT INNARDS; THE MOLLUSC ENVELOPS THESE FOREIGN BODIES IN LAYERS OF SMOOTH NACRE TO PROTECT ITSELF (A FACT THAT GEM MERCHANTS RARELY ADMIT)."
