I love these amazing flowers made from plastic shopping bags by visitors to the live experiments in human energy exchange exhibit designed by deb todd wheeler. I love the story of the reuse of garbage, ubiquitous plastic bags that also happen to be made from the diminishing and controversial resource of fossil fuel. It's surprising as a material for art and is also a statement about the wasteful and destructive habits of modern society at the same time. But it's the fact that each of these whimsical flowers was made be different people, the audience if you will, that's the most magical part to me. And the forms themselves are incredible. I love the variation on the theme. I love the intent. Ah, this makes me so very happy.
Just found your blog today. I am LOVING it. The ceramics by Sarah Malone are amazing.
