pretty rubbish
This project is focused on exploring different perceptions of land, in particular landfill and excess community waste from kitchen sponges to KFC gravy lids. The project aims to create a playful and random exploration of waste and its impact on the environment. As a print specialist, the project is centered on the processes and room for expression offered by printmaking techniques. The project explores different printmaking processes, such as screen printing and block printing, and uses them to create illustrative and collage-style prints that depict landfill landscapes. The project is inspired by the idea of landfill as a disposable order, where waste accumulates in its own unique and often unpredictable way. The project aims to create a playful and fun exploration of this idea, using printmaking techniques to bring the landfill landscape to life. The project also incorporates an educational component, aiming to raise awareness about the impact of waste on the environment and the importance of responsible waste management. The project explores the potential for upcycling and repurposing waste materials, with the goal of inspiring viewers to consider alternative approaches to waste disposal. The final outcome of the project is an exhibition that showcases the unique and playful prints created through the exploration of waste and landfill landscapes. The project encourages viewers to consider their own perceptions of waste and the environment, while also highlighting the potential for creative expression and innovation in the field of printmaking.
