Abstract
Polylactic Acid Chain 2 is the shorter of two oversize sculptural necklaces made entirely from polylactic acid (PLA) polymer plastic in two forms: 3D printed virgin PLA bead collars and recycled PLA beads, the latter materials made from waste PLA obtained from makerspaces around Sydney. The work contrasts the two forms of plastic, advocates for creative circular approaches to material use and critical engages with the ongoing problem of plastic waste, systems and infrastructure.
