a little about D and objects of D’sPLAY

Hi I’m Dagmara and I enjoy being called D. D’sPLAY is an ongoing creative project focused on addressing my relationship with consumption and how to do so on a negative - in reverse. How does one exist in this world intentionally and not contribute to the mountain ranges and ocean islands of garbage waist pollution as each bit of our daily “I’ll have’s“ does to our eco system. In thinking of this I triggered a response and a deep need in myself to deal with this question on personal level in my own life. I begun to accidentally collect the leftover consequences of my consumption (you know …the cups, containers, wrappers, packaging, all of it) and I started to encapsulate it with torn paper and flour mixture in large but manageable bundles. I found the process of encapsulating the physical action of putting away and compartmentalizing intensely gratifying, southing like. It is from this place that sculptural shapes begun to take form and waist became my raw material and I became a sculptor. What if everything I needed to fill my desires was already in my hands at my disposal and I let my imagination build using only that - that’s the essence of D’sPLAY. To house that which can’t be reused and reimagine with it - playfully, soulfully, uniquely. While still young and little this growing body of work aims to shed light on endlessly expressive possibilities of un-precious, un-spectacular materials through imaginative PLAY and patient persistence. I take medium liberty only with their surfaces as an ex-surface designer, nonetheless all of the sculptures are made entirely from second hand post consumer waist materials and fully embody circularity at their core. It’s my hope that objects of D’sPLAY are impactful in the way they fearlessly take up space, vessel flowers, shine light and reflect wild shadows onto any interior.

P.S. I can’t yet deal with your garbage but I can show you how you can deal with yours and be playful with it xoxo D of D’sPLAY
