Plastic Buffet: Artists Talk Left Heart: Victoria Mimiaga Right Heart: Judith and Richard Lang
For the past decade Judith Selby Lang and Richard Lang have collected over two tons of plastic trash from 1000 yards of Kehoe Beach along the Point Reyes National Seashore in California. The transformation of plastic debris into engaging works of art is the prime consideration of their work. The artists believe that "beauty first" is the best way to raise awareness of the sheer variety and ubiquity of plastic pollution and its impact on delicate marine ecosystems. Victoria Mimiaga will speak about the increased proliferation of plastic in the food industry and the influence the use of plastic has had on the aesthetic of traditional still life.
