At Quality Dry Cleaners the waste produced is of highly contaminated nature, from processing heavily soiled leather gloves (eg with animal blood and fat, printers ink, industrial grease), rental mats, overalls and tanned sheepskins.

On the way out, I marvel at how the dreamers and seekers toiling in the great hive of the beauty industry have brought forth in material form both our fear of contaminated nature and our yearning after what's been lost.
