Material Culture and Modern Craft

By repurposing the selected materials from their natural habitat, I want to address our dependence on everyday materials and the various modes of production we rely so heavily upon. From online material acquisition to the final work, our daily environment is conditioned and shaped by the efficiency of industrial processes that are hidden from the consumer.
