Dark Matter is a commissioned work by Rei Kawakubo, the founder of fashion label Comme Des Garcon for the new 2019 Dover Street Market flagship store in Los Angeles USA. This hanging light sculpture is created solely from hundreds of found black plastic objects collected on the south east coastline of the UK. Black plastic is the most common colour found on the beaches and is used extensively in the automotive and electronics industries. However, there is a plethora of different objects within the work, ranging from hair combs, container tops, toys, packaging components and fishing utensils. This archive of objects has been meticulously cleaned and given a fine coat of matt black paint to enhance the uniformity of the collection of objects. These alien black artefacts discovered along the coastline omit a sinister feeling against the natural shingle and sand. Ultimately these random objects are at the end of their life, but now have been given a new life, compiled together from chaos to form a harmonious floating alien space craft.
