This exhibition is held as part of Melbourne Design Week 2021, within which, Fashion brand S!X have curate a series of works by artists and designers from Melbourne and Brazil working together to transform our attitudes towards the use of Plastic. Unsuitable replacement: Spinifex, Pigface, and Snake Vine. The plastic bag dances in the wind on the sand dune. It is patterned with plants endemic to these sand dunes spinifex, pigweed, and snake vine. The plastic bag takes space where once wildflowers flourished. It’s form imitates what once was, but it’s not the same. It’s distracting us from our reckless destruction in the name of progress. We once fought to protect these sand dunes. We now fight to protect our convenience.
