Today’s treasure...plastic bags from Phillipa and Gilfi, bags from Izzy and a pile of building site plastic, given to me, this morning by a builder from across the road. I gave him and two if his friends a lift over Campeche Hill, yesterday afternoon. They posted a gift of plastic over my fence, this morning. Oops, almost forgot...and about 300 soda bottles, from a lady called Sue, in Golf Course. She didn’t want her plastic to go to landfill and leach into the ocean.

Detail from relief panel: Plastic Bags, soda bottles, polyester tunnel fabric, acrylic. When faced with a radical crisis, when the old way of being in the world, of interacting with each other and with the realm of nature doesn't work anymore, when survival is threatened by seemingly insurmountable problems, an individual life-form -- or a species -- will either die or become extinct or rise above the limitations of its condition through an evolutionary leap.” ― Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose #grenadaartisland #southafricanartist #artisttravelling #plastichasvalue #coralreefs #blueeconomy#onepointfivetostayalive #protectcoralreefs #singleuseplastic #upcyclingart #upcyclingplasticbottles #upcyclingideas #upcycling#singleuseplasticartist #plasticwaterbottlesculpture #wireandplasticsculpture #singleuseplasticbagart #caribbeanblueeconomy #sustainabletourism #sustainabledevelopmentgoals2020 #sdg12 #upcyclingplasticbags #climatechangeartist #somethingfromnothing2019#climateactionchallenge #ecoart #outsiderartists #outsiderart
The plastic sheeting given to me by builders, this morning, helped me to get this piece to the next level. It is a process of layering multiple layers of plastic over a wire armature and soda bottles. I am trying to make a figure sitting on a coral reef. #grenadaartscouncil #grenadaartisland #southafricanartist #artisttravelling #plastichasvalue #coralreefs #blueeconomy#onepointfivetostayalive #protectcoralreefs #singleuseplastic #upcyclingart #upcyclingplasticbottles #upcyclingideas #upcycling#singleuseplasticartist #plasticwaterbottlesculpture #wireandplasticsculpture #singleuseplasticbagart #caribbeanblueeconomy #sustainabletourism #sustainabledevelopmentgoals2020 #sdg12 #upcyclingplasticbags #climatechangeartist #somethingfromnothing2019#climateactionchallenge #ecoart #outsiderart #artwithpurpose #chasingcoral

Reimagined plastic shopping bags and soda bottles, painted with acrylic. Planning the effect I would like to try on the sculpture of the little girl sitting on a bleached coral reef.

The Rising:
Ian McCallum
One day
your soul will call to you
with a holy rage.
“Rise up!” it will say …
Stand up inside your own skin.
Unmask your unlived life …
feast on your animal heart.
Unfasten your fist …
let loose the medicine
in your own hand.
Show me the lines …
I will show you the spoor
of the ancestors.
Show me the creases …
I will show you
the way to water.
Show me the folds …
I will show you the furrows
for your healing.
“Look!” it will say …
the line of life has four paths –
one with a mirror
one with a mask,
one with a fist,
one with a heart.
One day,
your soul will call to you
with a holy rage.
Used so far: 50plus metres of builders plastic, over a 100shopping bags, scraps of bubble wrap, well over 150 soda bottles, plus 12 to 15 metres of Coca Cola and Liat plastic banner material, from Carnival, wire, a Swiss Pasta packet polyester vegetable tunnel fabric. #grenadaartscouncil #grenadaartisland #southafricanartist #artisttravelling #plastichasvalue #coralreefs #blueeconomy#onepointfivetostayalive #protectcoralreefs #singleuseplastic #upcyclingart #upcyclingplasticbottles #upcyclingideas #upcycling#singleuseplasticartist #plasticwaterbottlesculpture #wireandplasticsculpture #singleuseplasticbagart #caribbeanblueeconomy #sustainabletourism #sustainabledevelopmentgoals2020 #sdg12 #upcyclingplasticbags #climatechangeartist #somethingfromnothing2019#climateactionchallenge #ecoart #outsiderart #artwithpurpose #chasingcoral
So, I am trying to make a sculpture, of sorts, from an estimated, 50plus metres of builders plastic, over a 100shopping bags, scraps of bubble wrap, well over 150 soda bottles, plus 12 to 15 metres of Coca Cola and Liat plastic banner material, from Carnival, wire, and a lonely Swiss Pasta packet. Would you believe me if I told you this, out of proportion, cadaverish , little plastic being has gobbled up all the plastic and I need more to finish her? Nuts! Blows my mind! #grenadaartscouncil #grenadaartisland #southafricanartist #artisttravelling #plastichasvalue #coralreefs #blueeconomy#onepointfivetostayalive #protectcoralreefs #singleuseplastic #upcyclingart #upcyclingplasticbottles #upcyclingideas #upcycling#singleuseplasticartist #plasticwaterbottlesculpture #wireandplasticsculpture #singleuseplasticbagart #caribbeanblueeconomy #sustainabletourism #sustainabledevelopmentgoals2020 #sdg12 #upcyclingplasticbags #climatechangeartist #somethingfromnothing2019#climateactionchallenge #ecoart #outsiderart #artwithpurpose #chasingcoral
Looking forward to tackling a large piece. Super excited about the effects I am able to achieve with single use plastic. The more I experiment, the more I discover the potential for endless possibility. Let’s see if I can make a big piece before this noxious stuff becomes extinct This section of the relief panel shows heated, reshaped, hardened plastic bags and the bases of soda bottles. . Walking the shoreline
Following the stream and river
Scanning the pool and pond
Sifting the shingle and sediment
Under low skies and high cloud
Foraging in rain and gales, sun and moonshine
To bring home the findings
And trap the game
Snare the essence
Harvest the discoveries
For when I am done with this foraging
My canvas is laden, my paper is complete
Although my appetite is rarely satiated. - Kurt Jackson, Foraging #https://hospitalityinsights.ehl.edu/hotels-single-use-plastics-ban #grenadaartisland #southafricanartist #artisttravelling #plastichasvalue #coralreefs #blueeconomy#onepointfivetostayalive #protectcoralreefs #singleuseplastic #upcyclingart #upcyclingplasticbottles #upcyclingideas #upcycling#singleuseplasticartist #plasticwaterbottlesculpture #wireandplasticsculpture #singleuseplasticbagart #caribbeanblueeconomy #sustainabletourism #sustainabledevelopmentgoals2020 #sdg12 #upcyclingplasticbags #climatechangeartist #somethingfromnothing2019#climateactionchallenge #ecoart #outsiderartists #outsiderart
