Trash talk investigates how to repurpose waste plastics and harness its aesthetic potential. Through trial and error with the material, practical holes emerged. I encountered bends that are natural, rapid, and elongated, nearly liquefying or suggesting an underlying power in play, which I found not only apt for the material, but also for a seaside recliner observing the intricate multihued coral formations below.
