Background
Maria Viftrup is obsessed with seeing the beauty in ugliness. With the artist's gaze, she immerses herself in the huge amounts of waste found on earth and draws us into the social experience of sorting waste by material, colour or function.
The Beauty in our Waste
She teaches us to see the beauty and the potential of used packaging, old coffee filters or perhaps our cut tufts of hair. The award-winning designer has shredded a host of materials that have been resurrected as 208 colour pigments. It opens our eyes to the possibility of waste acquiring a new life in a new form.
