“We are often told we are materialistic. It seems to me, we are not materialistic enough. We have disrespect for materials. We use it quickly and carelessly. If we were genuinely materialistic people, we would understand where materials come from and where they go to.”
George Monbiot


Material - Behaviour, Form and Transformation:

Students worked with a wide range of commonly consumed waste. Each student picked one material that is collected at home to investigate deeply. Students explored the behaviour of their chosen material as well as transforming them into new states to gain and/or reveal their qualities. Students will learn about material performance through hands-on experimentation with natural, recycled and bio-fabricated materials.
