Description:
Environmental communicator, Bette Booth, was devastated on her recent Caribbean vacation when she saw the amount of plastic in the ocean and on the beaches. She began making art out of the trash to raise awareness about plastic in our oceans and what we can do to make a difference. She found that, all around the world, people were doing the same. These artists are some of our ocean's most valuable allies and advocates. They interact with and educate thousands of people scientists and other experts might not ever reach. The International SplashTrash ArtExpo is the first global platform that honors, shares and promotes the art and activism of these unsung ocean heroes. In only six months, over 160 artists from 38 countries have entered and more are entering every day. Entries range from ages seven-to-seventy, from whimsical creations made on the beach after a clean to larger-than-life installations, from people who have never made art to professional artists exploring a new medium. Each artist is unique, yet they share a common passion – they want their art to raise awareness about plastic pollution in our waterways and inspire people to reduce their plastic footprint. Theirstories are powerful and inspirational. Their art is diverse, captivating and provocative. Harnessing the Power of Art to Save our Oceans. ArtExpo Countries to date: Antigua, Austria, Australia, Bermuda, Cambodia, Canada, China, Costa Rica Czechoslovakia, England, France, Germany, Grenada, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Scotland, Slovakia, Spain, South Africa, Sri Lanka, St. Vincent, Switzerland, Tahiti, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkey, Spain, United States. Art Credits: Top Row Left to Right: ‘Mellow Yellow Jellyfish Bowl’, Christine Holden (Australia). ‘Peep Show III”, Vanessa Balci, La Plastigueuse (France). “Cello”, Sinasi Yelkenci (Turkey). Middle Row Left to Right: ‘Red-Eyed Tree Frog’ Cate Dine (New Zealand). ‘Seahorse’, Proartso (Spain). “Protect”, Shannon McCarthy (Hawaii). Bottom Row Left to Right: ‘Wave of Waste Dress’, Linda Thomas, (Great Britain). ‘VENERE’’, Annarita Serra (Italy). ‘Peace’, Michelle Doherty (Thailand). Note: I am making three entries about this project. This entry includes other artists work. As part of the entering their work, artists agree that these images can be shared to promote both them and the ArtExpo. The second and third entries use my art work and photos I have taken.
