Andy Hughes, "UFO Plastic Gyre Series,"
GYRE: The Plastic Ocean
January 26 – June 19, 2015
A flip-flop discarded in Thailand finds its way to Hawaii, and a bottle cast off from a tsunami in Japan becomes Alaska’s beach litter. In a culture dependent upon the modern convenience of plastic, throwaway products of consumption are affecting oceans and shrinking our world as we all become connected through our trash. On display in the temporary gallery, this unique art and science exhibition brings the problem into perspective.
