This SCULPTURE is 54" high x 45" deep x 88" long, constructed completely of the same brand and size of water bottles. My obsession with drinking clean water, led me to the realization of the “Plastic Waste” I was producing. Research of “Plastic Waste” opened my eyes to the horrific situation of our waterways, rivers and oceans. Top research scientists of our nation report that we are running out of clean drinking water fast. Beaches across the globe are covered in “Plastic Waste.” This “Plastic Waste” is killing fish, birds and other sea creatures, by entanglement and ingestion.
The orderly manner of the grid like system of color, pattern, number, texture and materials, reflects that of the orderliness of society, government and the legal system, all which turns a blind eye to this chaotic, seemingly uncontrollable problem.
The fluid and organic movement of the empty water bottles, mimics the oceans currants that move the “Plastic Wastes” across the globe.
I wanted to use these simple every day objects, that I was producing as waste, and create a beautiful, organic shape, with movement and luster, to bring attention to an everyday, everyone issue, that needs to be addressed more effectively.
