Throughout the residency, Norman also worked with Ford House staff to gather the plastic waste that resulted from normal daily operations across the historic estate, as well as the surrounding community. Made from more than 125 lbs of locally sourced post-consumer HDPE plastic from Ford House + the Grosse Pointe communities, extruded over stainless steel, Plasticus Thalamus is inspired by the arbors and arches found in many traditional English and French gardens, Cody Norman’s archway is inspired by the arch at the gate house that welcomes you to Ford House. Instead of vines and other organic plant-life, this arbor is encrusted in recycled plastic hand extruded to resemble coral, blurring the line between synthetic and natural.

A sturdy base allows these baskets to function and create a sense of perma-melt.Inspired by the basketry process of weaving through spokes each basket started out with the same structure. Each color of plastic comes from the source material, in this case a variety of translucent polypropylene objects such as; perscription bottles, cake toppers, laundry detergent caps, and tupperware lids. These objects are cleaned, sorted, shredded, and then melted over a mold.

this piece is made from over 800 lbs of post-consumer HDPE plastic collected from over fifty households and businesses in Oak Park and Chicago. The vibrant colors reflect the different sources of plastic – laundry detergent jugs, shampoo bottles, bottle caps, and more. If you’re in Oak Park or visiting Chicago and want to see the piece in person head to Porter, 1105 Pleasant St, Oak Park, IL Thanks to Focus Development and Johalla Projects for the opportunity to realize this piece!&nbsp; Project sponsored by Valgroup USA - Thanks Dan Maiorino!&nbsp; <img width="1440" height="1796" width_o="1440" height_o="1796" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/883e8889d6667851f87c1354a7b27d50750f68e911e8092cfba0d5033b0c5af0/FB7DB14A-8491-497E-A200-F3D52BA096D7.JPG" data-mid="212329365" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/883e8889d6667851f87c1354a7b27d50750f68e911e8092cfba0d5033b0c5af0/FB7DB14A-8491-497E-A200-F3D52BA096D7.JPG" /><img width="1440" height="1800" width_o="1440" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/02f97b5e52d28485e4e4a2d9beef415898902cc8cdc102432eba6104388241ce/003A8DFC-482D-412A-8C51-859CC7A4CB30.JPG" data-mid="212329366" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/02f97b5e52d28485e4e4a2d9beef415898902cc8cdc102432eba6104388241ce/003A8DFC-482D-412A-8C51-859CC7A4CB30.JPG" /> This page is a work in progress - process section coming soon :) Acknowledgements: Substructure fabrication - Steadyrest Metalworks Fabrication/Installation Assistance - Calvin Anderson Assistance - Justin Diaz-Krieg, Hyeseul Song, Luca Angelo Klauba Plastic donors: Redemptive Plastics, Beth Uhen, (more names soon).&nbsp;
