Wild Jar

For this solo exhibition titled Translucent, Mc Dermott’s used photography to give an insight into a spent flower’s creation.  Glass was incorporated into her artworks as the bristles of a plumed seed resembled it when viewed under a microscope.  Prioritising sustainability she hopes that glass is favoured as a better alternative to plastic.  Plastic degrades as soon as it is manufactured and microplastics can’t be recycled which highlights the need to ban all non-biodegradable plastic.

For the photograph titled Wild Jar she used the layers of reflection to show overlapping boundaries without obscuring the wildflower.  These layers created a semi-transparent effect creating Sculptural Environments of Translucent Boundaries.
