Beach Plastic.com


I should be doing contextual research but I came across this wonderful website charting the activities of two people who have been removing the washed up plastic from Kehoe beach in California since 1999. 

I absolutely love these collages, they work on a couple of levels, the plastic is taken from the beach in the first place and made into objects that simultaneously look wonderful and send a message. 

A gentle reminder that serious art doesn't always have to be serious.

Here's the site and some images below.
