WASTED JOULES
How can artefacts tell stories about alternative futures?
Wasted Joules are compostable jewellery made from domestic ingredients; water, flour, salt and starch. The project challenges the idea of preciousness rooted in durability and capital gain. The value instead resides in the process of making, wearing and then composting the pieces — an active misuse of excess energy.
I developed the idea during the EU funded workshop MaDe (Material Designers) in Barcelona, where I was selected as one of twenty designers to explore the concept of perishable social objects.
The jewellery collection was launched at London Design Fair (2019) along with an exhibition and a series of workshops.
