The Omega Series

The Omega Series by Pamela Irving re-contextualises discarded objects and materials into new forms. Sardine tins, an everyday object with a utilitarian design is the foundation of this series. Once the contents of the tin have been eaten, Irving creates her Omega characters.

It’s a play on the essential omega 3 vitamin and the Greek letter Omega, representing the end, the ultimate limit. Her characters reflect both the absurdity of waste and our material culture.
