Nature of Things is a series of installations devised to observe the gradual becoming and disintegration of things. Sculptural objects made with natural, organic, biodegradable materials, including waste flowers, shellac, beeswax and resin, and, occasionally, cooking flour, sugar or sand provide a field for experimentation that took as a starting point a critical commentary on the ideas of consumerism and planned obsolescence that adds to the culture of waste. In sharp contrast with fossil plastics, the perishable composite proposed has been designed to eventually decay without leaving a negative footprint – dissolving in soil, blending into the natural environment it came from.
