Linda Erceg: The Plasticene

The Plasticene transforms a range of recycled plastics into an immersive sculptural installation with large scale organic forms, sound design and kinetic elements. Referencing the growing impact of plastics in this new epoch of the Anthropocene, this work presents a thriving artificial ecosystem which mimics the processes and lifecycle of natural systems.

She also thanks her sponsors Spot On Fishing and Pack and Send, for their generous donations of recycled fishing lines and biofill packing peanuts, which have greatly aided the production of works.
