"Traditionally Lei were made from environmental detritus using multiple repetitive units. The urban lei series continues to use these principles of manufacture however the change of environment from the idyllic South Seas paradise to a 21st century urban reality sees a radical change in materials. Gone are the shells, seeds, leaves and fresh blooms. Plastic, metals, paper and suburban detritus are the new urban Polynesian resources."
