"There is a radical aspect to this workflow. It is a dystopian evolution of Land Art—or Earthworks. Unlike the monumental interventions championed by Robert Smithson or more ephemeral works made in and with nature formed with ecological intent by Agnes Denes, art made from repurposed plastic will simply never return to the earth. Artists employing plastics are working with an immortal medium, forcing a confrontation with the unwholesome synthetic footprint that this material is leaving behind." Aurora Robson
