things we need

2014

things we need acknowledges the old binaries of the natural/artifical and synthesise these elements into a cohesive whole, a transfigured coral reed composed of the artifacts of throwaway society. Minerals crystallize with this toxic environment, intermingling with the remnants of consumption allowing a new landscape to emerge, one inseparable from capitalism.
