Framed medical waste plastic (various original designs)

Waste single use plastic carefully cleaned and arranged in a box frame.  At first glance an aesthetically appealing pattern, on looking closer viewers may recognise and identify the materials prompting thought on what we use and what we throw away. What would be discarded has been elevated through care and attention. 

Eyedroppers I and II uses the shapes of single use pastic eyedrop dispensers and lids to create an abstract image. The translucence and highlights in the plastic are enhanced by grouping them together on a black background.

Vials uses lids from various vials of medications used within the NHS, collected and donated to me from my local hospital. Grouped together the circles form a larger circle, representing the need for a circular waste management approach that reimagines waste not as rubbish to be discarded but as a valuable resource to be retained within the economy.
