Another food waste repeat! I enjoy the grid-like nature of this repeat it creates balance amongst the irregularity of the illustration. Can’t wait for the ECA degree show coming up next week!
In this project polyester is not the only aspect I have tried to revalue. Household waste comes from a similarly undesired viewpoint and can be transformed through elevated CAD illustration.
