“Larner’s current work with plastic refuse is a continuation of her ongoing investigation into the aesthetic possibilities of non-traditional materials – recalling Eva Hesse. Collected over three years, she uses these waste items to explore the definitive qualities of formalist sculpture – interconnecting line and material substance, volume and mass, to create positive and negative space. […] Larner has transitioned from exploring the aesthetic possibilities of natural materials to exploring the aesthetic possibilities of plastic materials which endanger natural life.”
