Evoking the ocean, fishing nets, seaweed, and our penchant for “things”, this work acts as a reminder about how we should treat our planet. The first moment where I knew I wanted to create a three-dimensional piece with a light source behind it, came to me when I layered a few of the large sheets of printed, translucent colored shapes in front of our studio window. There were multiple colors on each sheet, all of which have been cut out by hand. Other bits of recycled ephemera are simply things that I can not throw away. The subsequent ideas about tying everything all together came in reference to lost nets that are found floating in the ocean.
