Angela Haseltine Pozzi is a late career artist living in Bandon Oregon. She collects beach trash, plastic, and crafts it into large sculptures of the sealife it is impacting.
It is impacting us too. Most salt in food is processed from seawater. Our single use plastics find their way to the ocean where they are battered into smaller and smaller pieces. Those nanoplastics end up in table salt and in processed foods. www.scientificamerican.com/article/from-fish-to-humans-a-microplastic-invasion-may-be-taking-a-toll/.
The work is accessible, not art school-driven art. That's good, because the message needs to reach everyone. Her project is documented at www.washedashore.org.
