The exhibition unravels the embedded histories of Glass Beach, Edithburgh, South Australia.

The very fabric of the site poses questions about what is valued and the systems of social, political and economic colonisation that have determined what we are ready to dispose of – from the seemingly most valuable – the human body – to the seemingly most disposable – waste.

Griffiths uses glass and its specific associations with the layered history of Glass Beach to understand cycles of consumption and disposal, asking us to negotiate our relationship to glass as a resource.
