Earth Wear

This collaborative project is to raise awareness of our over-consumption and the waste we generate.  Inspired by the urban street art of ‘yarn bombing’ where people crochet colorful yarn around tree trunks, Eng conceived of replicating that decorative action, into a socio-ecological one. She highlights the amount of plastics and electronics one household generates by transforming our garbage into art. 

Phase I of the project is August 10th-29th, 2020. An installation of three tree wraps on view on the northwest corner of Iris and 26th Street. Creative Catalyzer families and residents of Mother House, a shelter for pregnant women assisted in making the tree wraps for Phase I.
