CONTEMPORARY
WASTE is an effort to shift Western cultures material values in order
to embrace a more sustainable ‘high-end’ design aesthetic. Combining
waste, off cuts, scrap, and end of life materials, with an emphasis on
construction and industrial process by-products, with a high end
contemporary de- sign aesthetic. Creating a dialogue between
traditional, luxury and commonplace, utilitarian materials and finishes.
An investigation into how a Do it Yourself (DIY) ‘up-cycling’ aesthetic
can be merged with high end contemporary design and sculpture.
Challenging the value we associate with utilitarian materials and
function driven design by changing the context in which it’s seen and
used.
