Artist Statement for the Website | Plastic, once hailed as a symbol of progress, now looms as a formidable threat to our society and environment. Its ubiquitous presence permeates every facet of our lives, yet its lasting legacy is one of ecological devastation and human suffering. A material engineered to endure for centuries is squandered in mere minutes, discarded without regard for its potential longevity. This paradox lies at the heart of our contemporary dilemma—a crisis of consumption and disposal that demands urgent action. At Precious Plastic Margaret River, we stand at the forefront of this movement for change. Guided by a steadfast philosophy, we challenge the prevailing narrative of plastic as waste, recognizing its inherent value as a precious resource awaiting reinvention. Our mission is clear: to transform discarded plastic into objects of utility and beauty, thereby offering a pathway to redemption for both material and maker. Central to our ethos is the humble plastic lid—a seemingly inconsequential artifact of our consumer culture, yet emblematic of our disposable mindset. While the world overlooks these overlooked objects, we see them for what they truly are: blank canvases brimming with potential. From combs to tables, splashbacks to benches, our creations breathe new life into these discarded remnants, each infused with the spirit of transformation. |
Artist Statement for the Event Guide | Passion transforms recycled lids into purposeful art, igniting beauty, education, community, and sustainability at Open Studios Margaret River. Witness the power of creativity in repurposing waste for a better world. |
