The spiral is a form commonly found in nature and is a symbol of renewal, of rebirth and of life itself. It can also be seen as a symbol of hope for the future.
Judy hopes that by contemplating our relationship with plastic and the issues it poses, we will become more aware of how much we use, and how we might find and use alternatives for a better future.

Come and see The Insatiables: body casts made from plastic packaging – the films from supermarket containers and bags that are not easily recycled, and usually end up in landfill or the incinerator. These translucent forms reflect on several issues, including the huge volumes of plastic packaging that people ‘throw away’ every day in our consumerist society, and the fact that we now ingest plastic in the water we drink (bottled and tap), in the food that we eat, and in the air that we breathe.
