Light table, 3D-printed compostable cups_50” x 20” x 42”_2015
Decomposition consists of 3D prints of naturalistic objects made from discarded compostable beverage containers on a diffused light table. The cups were sourced from trashcans, washed, dried, shredded, and extruded as precise filament for 3D printing. After they are printed, the found inks on these waste plastics yield organic colours that make it difficult to locate their material origins.
