Keely Meechan’s work integrates the Rococo like curvature and spontaneity with the sleek and clean components of Modern design, resulting in a pleasant juxtaposition of natural and unnatural features. The designs are molded in a way that presents a flow of plastic being disturbed by the sternness of the solid metal, like an abandoned plastic bag flowing in the wind whilst trapped in the branches of a tree.

This exhibition is heavily influenced by the natural elements of nature and the human’s invasion that is slowly destroying it. Humans create more waste than our world can handle and take little notice of the effect this is having on our eco system and quality of life.

Through this exhibition I strive to enlighten you on the impact product waste has on our planet and influence you to be innovative about our planets future. I strive to raise questions among the audience about our relationship with our waste. Could rubbish be used as a medium for creative outlet? Could we use the plastic recycling as a material for new recycled sculptures? Could the way we mindlessly discard our rubbish change if we were to use it as an artistic symbol?
