Waste becomes art for National Recycling Week

Inglewood Arts Hub chair Margery Goodall is a prize-winning textile artist whose work is held in private collections nationally and internationally.

In her art, Margery Goodall draws attention to consumption in our society, questioning material waste and value. She repurposes packaging into stitched and woven ‘comfort blankets’, highlighting the original function of each material with a quirky sense of humour. Her approach elevates waste to the status of fine art.

The display features four works made from labels taken from discarded soft drink and plastic water bottles. Spring fizz, Summer sizzle, Water, water everywhere and Things go better with? were all recently shown in Margery’s solo exhibition at Midland Junction Arts Centre.

See these works on display at the City’s Administration Building until the end of November.
