The large-scale site specific installation uses recycled molded paper pulp packaging, stencils, and bright colorful paints that spark curiosity and imagination to transform everyday objects.

This exhibit showcases how individuals can better understand how everyone is connected and are all part of a greater whole. Urban planners, architects, scientists, engineers, and designers, use creativity to solve problems and make the world more beautiful by looking at connections in daily life.

The connections continue through a video illustrating how paper pulp shapes are made to highlight the energy and resources it takes to create objects that are typically seen as “trash.” Some of the most important environmental efforts include conserving energy and reducing water consumption, but pollution can be reduced by recycling and finding new ways to reuse.

The exhibit concludes with an invitation for visitors to stack and arrange their own recycled paper pulp pieces.

The Gallery installation is scheduled to run November 16, 2019 – March 8, 2020.
