Trash Animals 

Portuguese artist Bordalo II has created a series of mixed media animals using colourful plastics forming one half of the creature while a combination of wood and metal created a muted mirror on the other side. The globally-placed installations are the newest evolution of his series Trash Animals, large public works that address the impact our carelessly tossed waste has on the environment around us. 

“Let’s be cute together!”

1. Fold a piece of parchment paper (not wax paper) and put a nug between. Plug in the hair straightener and set it to the lowest heat. 

2. Once the hair straightener heats up, put the nug and parchment paper in between and squeeze as hard as you can.

3. After 10-15 seconds tops, remove the parchment paper.

4. Open parchment paper to reveal your hash. Scrape up and enjoy. Leftover squished nugs can be smoked or eaten.
