This is my family! We have started a wee project @somerubbishphotos We are going to post one photo a week of a piece of rubbish washed up on the beach with some possible sustainable alternatives. Follow us and let’s try reduce our plastic consumption together! :)

Judy Chicago speaking some truth! Thanks for the reminder. #judychicago regram: @adrianavarejao

The last 16 years I have been privileged enough to spend time on this beach in Kenya. Vast, relentlessly wild and extraordinarily beautiful. I have not been here for three years and I am saddened to see the beach has changed beyond recognition. Every inch is covered in plastic. There was no plastic three years ago. The following images were taken within a space of five square meters.
As we head for New Year please take a pledge with me to reduce your plastic usage. It’s so easy! It takes a little organisation and a mental change and we will be away. Follow @livplasticfree for inspiration. 👊

The main objects that get washed up here are one use plastic objects: plastic bags, toothbrushes, plastic cups, lighters, biros, flip flops and water bottles.
Easy changes for starters!
Canvas bags, bamboo toothbrush, compostable cups, matches/reusable lighters, refillable pens, reusable water bottles and sustainable shoes.
Bam! Done!

It’s always lovely to see work hanging in people’s homes. 💛
This first image is a landscape of an entire garden in Marlborough.
The rest are from one large landscape I made of London. The last image is of the show featuring the London landscape at May Project.
For those that don’t know this series, each block of colour is a pigment taken from a plant growing in a particular area. Each colour comes with a field note denoting the historical, medicinal and edible stories of the plant and where it was harvested and when. When hung together with other plants from the same piece of land it comes together as a conceptual landscape of that place. #plants #landscape #painting
