AUSPICIOUS PLASTIC is a podcast about precious objects and the stories behind them.
You could say that Darren Hutchesson has had a lifelong love affair with plastic. A devoted Tupperware fan - and distributor in the 1980s - he’s also a talented Lego designer ("Adult Fan of Lego") who makes painstakingly beautiful sculptures out of the tiny plastic bricks. He's done so since he was a boy.
Also a devoted vegan, Darren’s a collector, a thinker and a great storyteller with a beautiful mind. He’s spent a good deal of time contemplating his relationship to both forms of plastic, as you’ll hear in this moving and sweet kitchen table conversation, about connection, memory, creativity and freedom.
