 I'm Michelle Luji. You might know my name from the work on the Minuteman bike path called Persistence. I'm here at Boston Sculptor's Gallery with some of my personal work that also contains single-use plastic and crocheted forms. I've been working on this project for a couple of years. I knew this was coming up and I knew that I wanted to use single-use plastic and reuse plastic bottles and continue them with my crocheted work. So I started by looking at actual radiolarian forms and other micro-organisms in water and when I looked at those forms I saw a relationship between the forms of the actual micro-organisms and single-use plastic bottles. So I started by covering the plastic bottles with crochet plastic and using those as building blocks and components for the work that I wanted to make to represent this ocean microcosm. That led me to electing a lot of plastic and when I started to look at some of those plastics individual pieces also reminded me of those forms. So I did make a whole section of work called Plankton that uses much less manipulated single-use plastics that are more like blister packaging and waste from laboratories, science laboratories, and straws, plastic straws. So just trying to use those pieces much more close to how they actually come to be more recognizable. If you'd like to see more of my work you can take a look at the Minuteman Bikeway between the Kickstand Cafe and Linwood Street.
