nature's patterns

Is one man's junk really another man's treasure? 
Having collected over 1000 plastic containers recovered from the sea, Emer Brady has reclaimed this rubbish and found a way it can offer a rich new purpose.  Using objects of waste to shadow the shape of the waves on which the trash once surfed, we are provoked to remember the effects of modern day consumerism and pollution. 

'My practice is concerned with the patterns that exist within nature. I am interested in their underlying sense of order juxtaposed by an element of chaos. Nature’s patterns are so familiar to us that we have become blind to them: they have become invisible.'
