Mixed media: bottle caps, plastic straws, electrical component, piece of ceramic, sea glass, sea shells and tar from beach and acrylic paint on 11"×14" canvas. Total size framed: 19½" × 16".

From the artist:

This painting is inspired by how deeply connected we are to plastic. How will we get out of this mess? How will the fish get out of this mess?

I picked up these pieces of plastic over time via the #take3forthesea challenge on Instagram and Facebook, which asks us to take away 3 pieces of plastic trash when we leave the beach and to tell 3 people of the challenge. I'd like to encourage you to consider taking up this challenge.
