The plastic in the shark's mouth was collected from Fintra beach and surrounding coves and aims to highlight the issues of pollution, littering and the importance of recycling. Truly a sad reminder of what we, as a species, are doing to the planet.
Hi Bill.
ReplyDeleteIt is terrible how much waste we dump as humans.
Wherever we think it can.
But major impact on land, water and animals.
And for us, only we are so stupid that we simply do not want to see it and let it happen.
Groettie from Patricia.
We are destroying our own environment. We are a plague. A good pandemic is needed to wipe out nine tenths of us.
ReplyDeleteA confronting piece of art. People should think more about this mess they are creating all over the world.
ReplyDeleteA grim reminder what we are getting.
ReplyDeleteThat a good piece of art - shame that the raw materials are such as they are.

A stark reminder of one of the horrors of our modern societies' mindless consumption of products. We can demand different packaging of products plus reject those that will pollute the seas and land.
ReplyDeleteCiara O'Boyle has created artwork that should remind everyone that the oceans need some Tender Loving Care.
ReplyDeleteVery true and this is a great reminding sculpture how the earth is polluted and animals are killed by feeding on plastic litters, on land and sea. Nice work on shark!
ReplyDelete...what things that can be made with junk.
ReplyDeleteSad ... isn't it?
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
It is a bit sad. But also cool art :-)
ReplyDeleteA bit sad? A BIT sad? It is nothing short of catastrophic.
DeleteExcellent YET A VERY SAD visual . . .
ReplyDeleteYesterday, as I was driving away from the grocery store,
I saw a man “fling his cigarette” onto the ground/store front . . .
How careless, rude, gross, lazy . . .
dangerous too, when one thinks of how wild fires might begin.
It has “played across my mind” since!
It's a brilliant piece of thought provoking art Bill, we really are a sad lot the way we treat the world 😱
ReplyDeleteHello, the pollution found in our oceans is just horrible. It is sad! The shark art is a great message. Happy Monday, have a great new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant work of art and a timely reminder. Plastic bags are now banned in Mumbai.
ReplyDeleteUma excelente chamada de atenção.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e boa semana.

There is some realization of the mess we're making but very little effort to stop the mess or clean it up.
ReplyDeleteA good visual reminder.
ReplyDeleteSo true! Such a sad commentary!
ReplyDeleteHorrible with all the plastic in the oceans.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very meaningful sculpture! And, sad to think of all the waste we are piling on this land (and sea) of ours.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good way to get the message across, Bill!
ReplyDeleteIsn’t this awful! I mean not the ssculpture of course, but the reason the graphic reminder is needed. Same, or worse, over here sad to say.

ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more Bill.
Our planet deserves better treatment, when will we learn!
I know many of us do do the right thing but so many still don't.
It makes me so angry and sometimes a little sad.
Great pictures
All the best Jan
Great idea...and terrific visual. Hope the message sinks in with people.
ReplyDeleteThey did a wonderful job on the shark and it has such a powerful message!
ReplyDeleteQuite a vivid reminder.
ReplyDeleteWow. A great artistic commentary on a problem that sadly exists everywhere. Even in my little lake town the crap people throw in the lake or leave on the beach is disgusting.
ReplyDeleteThe issue of plastic waste in the oceans is getting a lot of very needed attention. It is awful what we are doing to the seas.
