Synopsis "Wastiary: A Bestiary of Waste"
A heterodox compendium of "beasts of waste," playfully re-imagining the medieval treatise on various kinds of animals. Wastiary: A Bestiary of Waste is a creative exercise that occupies letters, numbers, and symbols of Western academic language to compose a list of thirty-five short entries on the uncomfortable but pressing topic of waste in the contemporary world. The collection is richly illustrated with artwork, photography, collage, and mixed media and conveys the message that various forms of waste and pollution have achieved a beast-like or untamable quality, at times pungently transferring to considerations of "the human," or humans treated as waste.
