Capitalist Bloom

Capitalist Bloom is a light installation created out of disposable waste and recycled products. By creating Australian native flowers out of waste and placing them outside in vast juxtaposition I hope to show how single use plastic and people's lack of responsibility for recycling and compost is damaging our environment.

For Rainbow Serpent festival just one part of Capitalist Bloom was made, that was the Blossoming Gumnuts. The Gumnuts were placed on a glue laminated wood structure but due to the wind the piece was moved into a tree and structure made into a bench.

In future i would like to make a full garden of native flowers out of recycled materials that are more interactive with the audience and have a even greater lighting effect.
