Two things I do know:
The Linn County Landfill is forecast to be at capacity and close eight years earlier than expected
And many plastics are not recycled because it is cheaper to make more instead, and $ is the concern above all.
No cap.

Linn County Landfill Will Be Full 8 Years Earlier than Expected
The derecho in 2020 and population growth are two reasons why the Linn County landfill is filling up fast.

Even if one tries to decrease their waste output, is it truly possible to completely do so without systemic change at the level of those producing goods? And even where there has been change at that level, is it enough to make a difference?
This series additionally focuses on a similar ongoing point of interest: the question of when to resist situations greater than ourselves that we may disagree with and when to accept the futility of doing so within the structure of the place and time that we currently live.
The constant interplay in life of the things we can and cannot control continues to interest me.
As was the case in previous pieces and in the next ones in the works, ALL CAPS consists of elements that I controlled (the color palette of lids chosen, the size of the constructed plexi box) and an element of randomness: how the objects are arranged within the box.
This piece follows EnCapsulated from the end of last year. It is composed of lids of containers of products that my household purchases regularly. As is very often the case, the containers themselves were made of broadly recyclable plastic numbers (♽1 or ♽2), and the caps were not.
I remember when I was 13 or so my head hurt and one of my parents told me it was probably because I’d been reading too much
So I can relate to this. 💙
I found this source image a lovely reminder of how screen scares are not new and that kids have been looking at some form of them or another for decades. Heck, even when the radio was rolled out there was panic over people’s attention being given to it.
One thing that’s gotten a lot of attention for years is how much time people of all ages look at screens. Children are the demographic that have the most concern raised though.

It feels like I’ve been working on this forever. So many things have changed in four months. Things change so quickly as of late.

When is Apple’s Find My feature coming to glasses?
I am excited to announce that my show Pause Point will be coming to the Wright Museum of Art this summer at Beloit College in Beloit, Wisconsin. 💙
It will be running in conjunction with the Annual Beloit & Vicinity exhibition so there will be lots to check out! 👀
Shoutout to the UPS store employee that tried to explain to some customers that clearly had never thought about it reuse before that their Amazon return could be sent back in its original bag instead of in even more waste plastic.
