You know all those plastic fork, spoons, knives, and sporks that we carelessly throw away after we scarf down our lunch? Well, apparently we were tossing away a valuable tool to create works of art. WTF you say? Let me introduce to you “Waste”.
“Waste” is a sculpture of a human skeleton that was designed and constructed using various plastic utensils. Five graphic design and photography graduates from Kingston University (Ashley Maine, Laura Bowman, Jamie Breach, Elliott Mariess and Lewis Woolner) created this plastic skeleton to showcase the ironic connection between our addictive fast-food culture and the problem of world hunger. Their haunting, yet thought provocative design received a commendation at the 2009 Digital and Analog Design (AKA D&DA) awards. Hit the jump to see a closer look at their work.
