Plastic 101

A family of four collected all of their plastic waste for one week. This drawing captures the 101 various types of single-use packaging disposed of; each destined for recycling or incineration. This drawing seeks to remember and make visible these items that are usually removed from our home without attention. This artwork was a response to a Greenpeace initiative inviting UK residents to collect and share data generated from collecting plastic waste for 7 days in May 2022 – ‘The Big Plastic Count’.
