Simon Anton

This Will Kill _____ That

Through a process of grafting plastic waste onto armatures, Simon Anton reinscribes modern functional and political objects into ornamental critiques. He combines designs of the past with the material present to suggest invented and reimagined archeological reconstructions, resituating ornamental detail to recall moments across architectural history within the context of our current plastic proliferation. Drawing from individual and industrial waste streams, Anton creates a material technique that examines circular histories and reimagines possible futures for a world in which waste plastics are increasingly inseparable from the built environment.
