Robert Janson’s Plastic Bag Installation


As plastic bags slowly become a thing of the past and reusable totes take over, one artist is putting the leftovers to good use.

Robert Janson’s rather beautiful plastic bag installations range from delicate to heavy and resemble giant pink jellyfish.

Using light, heat and air, Janson and his friends recycle the plastic bags into moving sculptures.

With his installations, Janson explores the ideas of color concepts, geometry, light and presentation to effectively transform his pieces from simple groupings of plastic bags into powerful floating sculptures.

Recalling Andy Warhol’s floating Mylar balloons, the resulting pieces hover in space, moving with the viewer (and the air currents of the room).
