littoral: sci-art project

working to draw attention to our coastal ecology and its sustainability

Month: May 2019

West Highland #LitterCUBES

Tomorrow I will be showing my first #LitterCUBES made from plastic beach litter collected from over 20 beaches in the West Highlands. This is the first of 7 interactive events, where I am asking people to join me to weigh the #LitterCUBES and calculate the energy value of  each CUBE in terms of oil and petrol.

Come along and join in on West Shore beach Ullapool 10am-5pm (Thurs30th, Fri 31st and Sat 1st) of follow our findings @LittoralArt

The 3 West Highland #LitterCUBES are made from strapping woven together, drinks bottles laced together and prawn boxes  sewn together.  Everyone is welcome to have ago at tying together pieces of fishing net  to begin making the 4th CUBE . Join me  here in Ullapool  or at one of my next locations. Please share this story .
