In The Last Time I’ll Use Plastic, Wyatt Bertz unveils flashy, material-intensive works critiquing consumer excess, using rhinestones, epoxy, and 3D-printed plastics. Drawing on childhood obsessions with commercial aesthetics, Bertz confronts his ties to toxic, synthetic materials and pledges to move beyond them. Through neon sculptures, resin-encased hot rods, and a surreal 3D video, the show captures a vivid, conflicted farewell to the plastic fantasies of suburban capitalism.
