Single Use Plastic is a set of books designed using packaging waste. Paint was applied to both books using the single use plastic from a packet of sour candy. One of the two books also uses stenciling. It was created using packaging waste from one of the tools used to create both books. One of these books is bound using a 3-hole pamphlet binding method. Through a variation of found poetry and collaged imagery, the book tells a short story about the rise and fall of a relationship. The other book is bound using a 5-hole pamphlet binding, it also uses found poetry and includes elements of alcohol ink on Yupo.
