Matthew Harkness / UNSW School of Art and Design
Blue Series

Matt is an early-career designer, researcher, and academic based in Sydney, Australia. He is currently a Lecturer in Sustainable Design at the University of New South Wales. Matt specialises in object design from a Circular Economy, critical making, speculative, co-design, and more-than-human perspective.


Temporarily configured as individual furniture, objects, and jewellery, the Blue Series focuses on materiality and entropy to explore how waste plastic will inevitably fragment into microplastics and their monomer components, entering planetary nutrient cycles over millennia.
