ABOUT THE ARTWORK

ArtistTrinity MyersPhysical Details82 x 90 x 91 cmDate2025Artwork Description'Spoiled' - a fridge taken over by mould and decay made from food packaging and discarded materials - confronts the environment consequences of food waste. The work was influenced by the increasing issue of food waste generating methane in landfills, which drives climate change and land degradation. Each year in Australia across the food supply chain 7.5 million tonnes of food is wasted. By creating decay froim discarded materials, it demonstrates a comparison and reveals the hidden pollution behind food waste. The work urges viewers to reflect on wasteful behaviors and to reconsider everyday choices like over purchasing or throwing out food.
Recycled materials include the mini fridge, fruit netting, buttons, egg cartons, plastic packaging, wire, plastic bottles, wire, plastic bottles, electrical wire, beads, lids, thread, knitting wool, straws, tags, fruit stickers, cans, bubble wrap, packaging paper and junk mail magnets.

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

ArtistWei Li QuPhysical Details71 x 60 x 40 cmArtwork DescriptionMy work reimagines Edvard Munch's "The Scream". I seek to mirror Munch's emotional resonance while indicating the disposable culture that suffocates out environment. The scream echoes anew - not from a soul, but from the very waste we discard.
Used plastic bottle lids, plastic picnic knives, straws, waste fabrics and nets.
