Plastic Soup
Abstract
The purpose of this design activism artwear was to create a visual representation of the environmental impact that plastic has on the ocean and aims to create a conversation about the seriousness of the issue. The cradle to cradle tenet of waste equals food (McDonough & Braungart, 2002) was used as a framework for the design and sourcing of materials. An exploration of free-form embroidery fabric collage was used to create the texture which is the design emphasis of the piece.
