Positive/Negative Impressions, 2020

Henny Burnett

Domestic single use plastic food packaging is used as moulds to cast a series of sculptures. These pieces are about the materiality of dental plaster and cement, the tactile quality of both materials and the textures impressed from the plastic surfaces of the packaging. The work also asks questions of our disposable society, consumerism and the over use and dependency on plastics. Combined with the plaster and cement are domestic materials; fragments of rubber washing up gloves, mesh from fruit bags, sewing thread and lint & dust from a clothes dryer.
