Plastic Ocean Art Show

Bonnie Monteleone has been to three oceans collecting plastics 100s to 1000s of miles from land and are found here in this art show. Using the well recognized, "Great Wave" by Hokusai circa 1830s, Monteleone illustrates a very different ocean than what Hokusai saw 180 years ago. Each of the 4'x5' panels morph away from the original until it is unrecognizable in the last image depicting the North Atlantic heaving plastics onto Bermuda's beaches. The title is "What Goes Around, Comes Around meaning plastics get lost at sea, then return to us either in our fish or on our beaches. The centerpiece is a 6' long by 3' tall interactive sculpture of a wave made from bottle caps and plastics found on Wrightsville Beach, NC. This portable art show intends to express the ocean's beauty against the disturbing reality that our sea are being trashed. Five wooden windows are mounted with photos from the voyages along with explanations of each canvas positioned above crates filled with the items found in each work. It serves as an educational tool for explaining the problem with plastics in the ocean through discovery. For more information visit www.theplasticocean.org
