JANA CRUDER AND MATTHEW LAPENTA
I find these collaborators work wonderful, straws have been one of the biggest this has I have collected. I would pick five to ten a day with our even trying. Their work has a simple message, by enlarging the everyday objects to show everyday objects are damaging to the planet. These installations have traveled the globe and been exhibited since 2016, including additional collaboration with upstart innovation organisations that include scientists that can be inspired to come up with solutions, once creative artists such as LaPenta and Cruder bring these issues into a larger perspective.
Lucas Hlein and Kim Williams

Another collaboration is artists Dr Lucas Hlein and Dr Kim Williams. Who worked with the 2020 Biennale on focus towards waste consumption. However due to COVID the artists quickly adapted and supplies information on waste, plastics, micro plastic awareness and additional collaboration with scientists and Exhibition. It’s takes all different types of understanding, exposure and methods to brings awareness to artistic practices and it’s subject. I was drawn to this because I was collecting found objects throughout the semester (and previous one also).

“War on Waste has triggered systems-wide changes, driving high-impact waste-reduction initiatives, models and practices across Australia.” Jenni Downes
Institute for Sustainable Futures
ABC and The University of Technology Sydney’s Institute for Sustainable Futures. Developed a report on the impact of the ABC series War on Waste, this is another example of two disciplines working together, through facts, visual representation and evidence of impact when the problem is standing straight in front of you. This includes the encouragement of States following lead, for example Perth Australia banned plastic bags after the airing of the ABC series War on Waste.
