Kemps Ridley Sea Turtle, 33.5 x 38 inches
Throughout the summer, I have continued to create these portraits of animals harmed by plastic pollution. Each is hand sewn from film plastics– film plastics are impossible or difficult to recycle where I live.
I’ve completed 14 of the 46 species on my list (informed by the work of researcher David Laist, 1997).
Here are just a few more.
