Plastic in a straight line 2015

20 m green plastic in a straight line picked on a 200 m long strip of beach on the island of Sal, Cape Verde.

All along the beaches there are garbage, mostly plastic. Everything has been washed up by the waves and comes from the sea. No one can fail to consider the fact that the oceans today conceal perhaps the world's largest garbage dump.

I decided to make a line of debris and see how many yards I could get together in a single colour on a limited distance. All other materials were kept and the beach was far from being cleaned of all debris when I had completed the line made out of green garbage.

This is how it looked like before I collected some of the rubbish

Winter works 2015

I havn´t been working so much in snow before, and it turned out to be hard. Weather and temperature was changing and made it hard to work a long time on one idea. On my website www.mariegayatri.se you can see a work called COME CLOSER 2015. I will share two experiments with you. I was experimenting with snow and some of the structures from moss. And how they might work together as the snow and ice was melting around me....

This last image with lines made of snow on a stone, I think somehow awaken asociations of -a brain! In future, I would like to work with the brain as an icon and a sculptural form.  The material of this sculpture could change together with it´s environment and I think could become really nice, and very different from place to place. I also like how the form ans pattern kind of melt in to the environment -rather than how a sculptures usually works - as a form that stands out alone in contrast to it´s surroundings. I´d rather like to walk along the track of melting....
