Adrienne Outlaw creates sculptural and participatory works from post-consumer plastic, transforming discarded materials into immersive forms that demand attention. Her practice makes visible the scale, persistence, and strange beauty of plastic waste while insisting on its creative potential.

Joy is a deliberate strategy in Outlaw’s practice. Through color, light, and pattern, she creates sculptures that invite curiosity, sustain attention, and foreground possibility. Shaped through repetition and accumulation, the work makes visible how individual acts contribute to larger systems, reframing waste as a site of care, authorship, and transformation.

Outlaw’s projects operate as social and material systems, integrating environmental data, craft traditions, and public participation into sculptural form. Spanning large-scale installations and photographic prints, her work invites broad audiences while maintaining formal rigor and environmental responsibility.
