Artist Research – Veronika Richterova

Plastic Plants Recycled

This is just one of the many sculptures from Czech artist Veronika Richterova, from her project ‘PET ART.’ I find it fascinating how she uses recycled materials such as the plastic bottle to create such strong meaningful artwork. The colour and texture which comes from the recycled objects is really eye-catching, but the main reason i found this project so interesting is because she uses things which people throw out. I got my inspiration from looking at her work and how i could target people about littering on the streets by photographing the rubbish i found in relation to how we are harming the environment. I did this by thinking about how i placed my objects with the plants I used.

Found Objects

For this project we were given a map in which we had to go and find objects around the streets which we could take. Next we had to photograph these in a scenario and I chose to focus on plants. I wanted people to think and understand the consequences of dropping litter and how this effects the surroundings we live in.

Urban vs Rural

The first image is of Lincoln Cathedral and I changed the colour contrast. While the second image I took at Leeds Festival and layered this on top of my original image. The idea came from looking at the city picture and noticing there wasn't much greenery visible.

Here, I also stuck with my theme of merging the city scape and countryside. As you can see the traffic is all driving into the distance and I wanted to capture the sense of escaping the polluted city.

Again, I blended photos together of city traffic and the rural country. The train tracks are leading into the countryside.
