Longevity

Walter Walter is exhibiting material research via a range of crafted vessels. We invite you to interact with and interrogate our experiments, to explore the potentials of the material we come into contact with the most in our daily lives; plastic.

We are at a pivotal moment where we need to question consumption alongside endurance. When considering materials that last generations, we think of stone, metals and concrete, but what about more recent materials? What about plastic? It is time for us to reassess our preconceptions of materials in concert with our relationship to our changing environment.

Plastic is a material of infinite potential; strong, mouldable, and adaptable- yet it is widely considered as cheap and disposable. The vessels on display aim to reframe our current viewpoint on plastic, focusing instead on its utility, lifespan and ephemerality. The transparent and translucent vessels are designed to be responsive to their environment; objects which are designed to embrace change.
