environmental apathy
We are inundated with tragic news about the state of the world and it makes people feel overwhelmed and powerless in the face of our current environmental crisis. Many people choose not to take responsibility for their actions are become dismissive to the whole effort by resigning to believe that we truly can’t change our fate. In this screen printing project I’ve tried to distill this attitude into three phrases. printed on plastic shopping bags to bring attention to our destructive overconsumption of single use plastic bags and on a larger scale encourage viewer to think about all of their consumption. The words take on either the voice of the person holding them or the situation that their places in taking on the voice of the object or the person. The humour is meant to bring lightness to this subject as not to isolate the consumer while at the same time being clearly satirical.
