Roisin Johns is Re-Engineering Desire
Dumpster Jewellery
Roisin Johns from the University of the Arts London created this project with the intention to re-appropriate discarded materials and re-engineer desire.
By challenging the perceptions and value of discarded materials, Johns has taken materials found in landfills, skips, and factory floors turning them into objects of desire.
From re-engineered eggshell, to paper, to foam, leather & polystyrene, these second life materials took the form of a jewelry collection, all originally sourced from her local dumpster.
