3D-print waste PLA bio-plastic, steel pins, and on wood panel.

My practice bridges industrial chance and obsessive human precision. Using waste 3D-print PLA bio-plastic ‘purge’, the arbitrary gradients expelled during colour transitions, I treat these synthetic fossils of the digital age as rare scientific specimens.
Through a methodology borrowing from 19th-century entomological archiving, each fragment is catalogued and pinned onto structured grids. Suspended on fine pins, they cast shifting shadow networks that morph with the light. Rather than approaching waste through shame or literalism, this work reclaims human agency, inviting quiet reverence for industrial detritus and demonstrating how visual order can be salvaged from mass-manufacturing chaos.
