This exhibition challenges us to think critically and creatively about how we use plastic now, and in the future
Plastics are all around us – from food packaging to household items to intricate technical and lifesaving devicesIn the space of 100 years, these versatile, durable, and cheap materials have come to dominate much of our material world
However, these positive attributes of plastic also underlie the vast problems it is now causing our societies and our planetPlastic’s versatility means that it is used in almost every field of manufacturing, from “paper” cups to electronic componentsIts durability means that it takes years to break down in the environmentIts cheapness means that it is easier to make new plastic than to gather and re-use existing plastic, or to use biodegradable alternativesPlastic waste is now a serious threat to the life of our seas and oceans – we need to turn the tide on plastic now
This exhibition explores the rising tide of plastic in our lives, from its early promise, to the veneration of its “space-age” possibilities, to its current ubiquity and fall from grace as environmental pollution
Incorporated within the display are two artistic responses to plastic waste in the oceans:
Climate Change: The Plastic Age a sculpture made of found materials by Gail McGregor
It Ends Up on Our Beach a series of photographs by Graham James of plastic collected by Christine Keay
Together, the exhibition challenges us to think critically and creatively about how we use plastic now, and in the future, for the welfare of ourselves and our planet
