Waste of face

I have put a face to my patterns of consumption by using a weeks worth of my own garbage as a sculptural base. This work belongs to a larger dialogue addressing the habits of consumption. As a society, the problems that have and will continue to arise from these habits of consumption. We are lucky to live in a time with widespread garbage removal services. These services, while helpful in maintaining cleaner cities, have also made it progressively easier for us to adopt an out-of-sight, out-of-mind attitude towards our growing waste problem. The netted structure of this work references the waste build up currently taking place in our oceans.
