Robyn Woolston in her work titled 'Strangers in a Strange Land', explores the theme of being burdened with inorganic waste. 'Strangers in a Strange Land' is the winner of the 2012 Liverpool Art Prize, it features 9 large bales of waste plastic that weighs a combined total of 3,600 kilogrammes, this highlights our relationship with the Earth and it's infinite resources.
Speaking of her work in the exhibition, Woolston said: “Waste materials are abundantly available because of the way in which we consume.Strangers in a Strange Land offers a way to reassess the value of these materials so as to understand just how much we value their inherent possibilities."
Recycling and responsibility is the overriding message in Woolston's work.
