Melt, future remains is a collection of jewellery and objects exploring anthropogenic marine debris and its impact within the environment along our coastlines and oceans or trapped within the frozen abyss.
This work explores our relationships with both natural and constructed environs and how we are fused between them. This exhibition presents a body of work displayed in water and suspended within ice that will be revealed throughout the duration of the installation as the works melt. These unnatural materials collected along the Australian coast investigate that which we discard does not go away and will remain long after we are gone.
