ABOUT

SOPHROSYNE PUTS VALUE ON THE COMMON PLASTIC BAG, WHILE
MAKING PRETTY OUT OF A DIRTY FACT. EASILY ACCESSIBLE,
CHEAP AND DURABLE, IN THE 21ST CENTURY WE HAVE TRILLIONS
OF TONNES OF THIS MATERIAL AROUND. SOPHROSYNE RE-
ENERGIZES THIS MATERIAL ALONG WITH ACYRLIC PAINT
(PLASTIC) AND LITTER BITS WITH COMPOSITIONS THAT ARE BOTH
PLAYFUL AND LIGHT. THE COLLAGES ARE INVITING, BALANCED,
SELF-AWARE AND AT TIMES WHIMSICAL BUT AT THEIR CORE
CARRY A CONSEQUENTIAL TONE. IT'S NO SECRET THE
DETRIMENTAL IMPACT PLASTIC BAGS AND POLLUTION POSE TO
OUR ENVIRONMENT. SOPHROSYNE'S INTENTION IS TO ENGAGE
OUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE MATERIALS WE CONSUME AND THE
CONNECTION WE ARE BOTH PARTS CREATING AND DESTROYING
WITH OUR NATURAL WORLD. THE COLLAGES PROFILE HOW
EXCESSIVE OUR SOCIETY'S CONSUMERISTIC TENDENCIES CAN BE
ONE PLASTIC BAD AND PIECE OF LITTER AT A TIME.
