Micro Plastic and Plankton, 2022 by me, Emily Duchscherer Kirk.
When I think about our impact on the are rest of the world, everyone and everything living in it I become overwhelmed, I think a lot of people do.
As a part of my degree, I created this work back in 2022, whilst completing a module exploring materiality and how to using the right materials to emphasis the meaning behind your work can be very powerful.
I now use post consumer materials as much as possible in my artworks, especially when it comes to ones addressing and trying to create a narrative and conversation on environmental issues.
My direct inspiration for this drawing was from a photographer David Liittschwager who created micro photographic images, to show micro plastics amongst living organisms off the coast of Hawaii, whilst taking samples of the great Pacific garbage patch, whilst working with scientists in 2019.
I drew this image from a section of his micro photography making the microscopic, large and visible. Creating this work on single use post consumer packaging that is reflective and plastic is to emphasis the effect and meaning behind this artwork and the enormous problems we face by creating tonnes of plastic waste everyday.
“Plastic is an amazing material, but the idea of making something single use is preposterous.” – David Liittschwager, 2019.
“We will not recycle our way out of the plastic pollution crisis: we need a systemic transformation to achieve the transition to a circular economy” – Inger Anderson, UNEnvironment Programme Executive Director, 2022.

Creating work about the connection between and within all of us, human beings, has been a challenge, one I will continue to explore.
I believe there is room in the world for everyone to thrive not just survive, let’s create that world. #interconnected #createthelove #humanbeings
