The fashion industry is the second largest polluter in the world after the oil industry with almost 80 per cent of unwanted textiles in Australia ending up in landfill. Eight billion garments are produced globally each year and 400% more clothes are produced now compared to 20 years ago. A Material World No 3 blends my own landscape and still-life photographs with artificial intelligence. Vegetation swathed in fabric struggles to survive, pointing to the devastating impact of textile waste on the environment. This work serves as a reminder of the waste and excess of our consumer culture, our addiction to fast fashion, and the need for greater mindfulness and sustainability in our consumption habits, urging us to think twice before throwing out our clothes to buy fewer clothes, to purchase secondhand clothes, to buy clothes from sustainable brands and to donate our clothing to a charity.
