littoral: sci-art project

to examine and draw awareness to beach litter and its effects

Month: January 2019

Inspiring…..

…community members of Dunbar joined me at Dunbar Harbour on Tuesday night to hear discuss how I’m planning to make two #LitterCUBE sculptures at the harbour, using discarded, washed up plastic drinks bottles and net ends commonly found in the harbour and along the local beaches. I shared how I want to make the sculptures to highlight the plastic  leaking into the sea and the value of this plastic that’s being wasted.

We had a wonderful and exciting exchange of ideas, followed by great suggestions of how to link into the towns many environmental and arts activities . The upshot is we have begun a great supportive net-work, as strong as the net I will be sewing together to make a #LitterCUBE from.

Residents…… teachers……. arts organisers……. the harbour trustees…….. artists…….  marine biologist…… parents and a business manager at the meeting  wonderfully offered support and suggested that I aim to stage the event in June, to link into Dunbar Civic week and North Light Arts Sea Change exhibition.

June 10th-23rd : proposed dates  for making the#LitterCUBES  in Dunbar  .            More detail about events to be  added as soon as I am clear about the funding situation. Anyone can help by collecting materials for the #LitterCUBES  which will be stored at the Harbour. Please get in touch if you can help.
