Core

Core, 2017. Recycled high-density polyethylene and polypropylene casts arranged in geological core sample boxes, 185 x 108 x 50 cm

Core is inspired by research paper The deep sea is a major sink for microplastic debris published by the Royal Society Open Science Journal in 2014.

Microplastic fibres (anything smaller than 1mm) have been found in abundance in deep-sea sediment core samples from the Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean.
