Making art from inherited waste.
Griffin Nordstrom & Domenica Queen talk strategies for working with and embracing the inconsistencies of waste plastic as an art medium.

The bags most commonly used in their work come from a variety of manufacturers and though the plastic is the same, inks, dyes and construction differ, making improvisation a must.
