A continuously-evolving exhibition investigating contemporary waste management through the framework of ancient waste disposal practices, combining a Scottish folktale of transformation, grief and revenge, and an Aomori folktale about dissolving bodies, love and loss. Each week the exhibition was altered, sustaining a cycle between studio, site visits and public presentation; attending to the continued lives of objects beyond their primary function.
