Plastic dinner wear was used, en masse,  to coat a chair form.  It is a commentary on the excessive use of plastic ware and asks the question: what happens after it's initial use?  Most of the ware were reused after use; others were obtained for design purposes.  A solution?  Use wooden forms much like we experienced in Europe recently.  Yes, it costs a little more, but the environment is worth it.  This also does not promote the petroleum market.

 A multitude of plastic, white dinnerware was shaped to create a large spoon. Resting in the cup of the spoon is a bowling ball, transformed into the planet Earth. The continents are defined by small bits of plastic.  The intent is to convey the  result of single use consumerism and raise awareness that plastic never biologically breaks down; it just gets smaller.  

From an HVAC conversion company stockyard, discarded components were hand selected.  The sculpture promotes the idea of using alternate sources of energy, in this case, the sun, represented by the small solar panel on top of the electrical meter.   The copper tubing is simply a visual device; this is not a  functional piece,  but rather a symbol of possibilities. A light switch on the back   symbolizes  that it is time to turn on this solution.
