In a time when Pirates are more popular than ever in fiction and in reality. This abstract collage of multi media, coal, acrylic, paper, spay paint and a piece of cardboard. You can’t but help thinking of a Pirate ship, something like the Black Perle from Disney’s Pirates off the Caribbean but instead of being the coolest and fastest ship on the oceans. This ship is more like a slow horror paper/plastic pirate ship. So this could reflect a very urgent problem we are facing.
Mean wile paper as a natural material would degrade. Plastic is a different story, about 300 million tons of plastic being produced every year. Because its many differs uses and durability, we see almost everything made out of plastic and only a fraction is recycled. All the rest being left and discarded in our environment, mostly contemning our nature.
If it is trash in your every day to day in the streets contaminating your harmony or hidden in the woods on your exorcise jog. Is this conscious or uncurious in your view. If this encourage you to throw your own garbage where it is not supped to be, because someone else also did it. Rather if you are having a strong moral and you would pic the trash thats is not yours and up your self without any physical reword.
Coming from Sweden being a relatively clean country that is facing an increase in littering and now living in Prag where litter is more common. The feeling is that no one is held responsible and because of this there is nothing being bun to prevent it. Looking a my painting or garbage art that is most focused of making something ugly as trash into something beautiful. My art thou is reflecting on the contaminates like carbon dioxide or polyethene. Plastic and the plastic we don’t see is the worst problem. Such a big problem you have probably been propagated whit the reality of sea animal being stuck in plastic or dead animal with stomachs filed whit plastic.
thanks for walking whit me!
