Carbon Form
Sarah Elise Hall

Carbon Form imagines a future scenario about our environment; one which speculates about the kind of trace-evidence that will remain after a prolonged period of plastic waste. The installation presents a series of casts made from a plastic tray found in the garbage in Brooklyn along with the work surface they were cast upon. The casts reveal the minimal industrial markings of the container they come from but also evoke imagery of erosion and fossilization due to the organic casting method and materials (marble, glass, dry pigment & binder).

Perhaps our disposable and non-biodegradable containers will fossilize over time creating strange geological forms in the shapes of industrial mass-production.
