Plastic Portraits is a project that seeks to explore our relationship with plastics. People in this world interact with plastics on a daily basis. From single-use, disposable items, to medical and technological equipment that many of us find essential to our lives, plastic is so integrated that we often use and interact with it without being aware of it.
By photographing different people with the plastics they use daily, this project opens the door to thoughtfulness and discussion around the plastics in our lives. It raises awareness of the ubiquitous presence plastic has in our world and hopefully will spark individuals to make more thoughtful, informed decisions regarding their own plastic consumption.
While attending the Jazz Educator's Network Conference (JEN) earlier this month, I had the opportunity to witness the workshop of fantastic performers Brinae Ali and Allison Miller. They spoke about the deep history of connection between tap, jazz, and drumming. Highlights of the workshop for me were getting to see these two play duo. It made even the plain hotel conference room spark up with joy!
