This artwork was runner up for the Outstanding Piece award in this years Folksy summer exhibition.\r\n\r\nEmbellished and embroidered recycled fabric inspired by coastal textures cast with cement inside found water bottles. Mounted on recycled wood with mirror plates for wall hanging.\r\n\r\nsize: 35 x 24 x 4 cm\r\n\r\nThis is an ongoing series about the ongoing problem of single-use disposable plastic bottles. It is the litter in our towns and cities that gets swept into drains then into our waterways and eventually out to sea that is the cause of plastic pollution of our coasts and seas including remote islands hundreds of miles away from the nearest convenience store or take away. Somebody once compared them to biblical samplers: beautiful to have around and to hang on your wall but at the same time a moral reminder. A lovely way to put it.\r\n\r\nBecause my work is concerned with the environment, I reuse clean packaging like tissue paper and padded envelopes. I can also wrap and send items as gifts directly with a note.\r\n\r\n","brand":"Nerissa Cargill Thompson","product_id":8378399,"availability":"in stock","quantity":1,"product_expiration":"2026-06-16T07:08:48+00:00","images":["https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-e34b4520-c011-4c4d-a1f3-76d3abca3183-message-in-a-bottle-family-pack-sculpture-from-recycled-materials-nerissa-cargill-thompson/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-9e5fe2d1-0ae9-4414-a259-8b5de03dce55-message-in-a-bottle-family-pack-sculpture-from-recycled-materials-nerissa-cargill-thompson/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-b3d18b81-100b-47d5-b722-630ff2ecab6a-message-in-a-bottle-family-pack-sculpture-from-recycled-materials-nerissa-cargill-thompson/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-29703231-ccc4-4d79-ad99-e70fcfadac96-message-in-a-bottle-family-pack-sculpture-from-recycled-materials-nerissa-cargill-thompson/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-2f8b1560-bd8a-4a40-92e9-c5ff986d6524-message-in-a-bottle-family-pack-sculpture-from-recycled-materials-nerissa-cargill-thompson/public"]}
