The “Bounty of the Sea” Sculpture consists of readymade consumer items that has been discarded at the end of their useful life and has ended up our Waterways, Oceans, and Back-bays. All of the Debris on this sculpture was culled from our Beaches and Back-Bays of our Waterways. Some of these consumer items have been in our Oceans and Back-bays for years.
Our Waterways are becoming a Dirty Pool of toxic chemicals, Oils and discarded manmade items. Out of sight out of mind, this is a toxic brew that you are swimming and eating from. Yes, man is making a Dirty Pool out of our Rivers, Back-Bays and Oceans.
The reason that I use Clam and Oyster shells in this sculpture is because Clams and Oysters are filter feeders that form the basics of our food chain. Do you really believe that all of the salt water and the vastness of the Ocean will naturally clean itself of Human activity!
Most governments believe that the endless dumping will have no effect on our food supply. Come on now, would you grow and eat vegetables from a toxic Landfill. So, why would eat sea food from Toxic Waters of our Back-Bays, Rivers and Oceans.
Hopefully, this wave of Debris sculpture, “Bounty of the Sea”, will serve to highlight man’s continuing pollution of our food system in the marine environment.
