Mary, Spare Parts executive director traveled to Oahu 'Trash, especially plastic pollution, washes ashore every second onto state's beautiful beaches because of churning gyres in the Pacific Ocean. Debris is found from manly miles away. This serves as a reminder that trash does not need a passport to travel.' 'Romantic imagery of Hawaiian vintage postcards with the harsh reality of ocean pollution'

'These abstractions are the ink pressed from found plastic/waste from Exmouth Beach. The images within the collagraph are found images that represent the pollution of the sea, the foam.'

'Internal architecture of the trachea and lungs, 3D printed in Frosted Ultra Detail plastic.
This image shows the internal structure of the lungs. The trachea (windpipe) divides into two branches called bronchi, which each divide further to produce smaller branches called bronchioles. After a number of further subdivisions, the bronchioles terminate into alveoli, which are the air sacs of the lungs where gas exchange occurs.'

'The color of deep blue, as well as the ash black lines portray the hurt animals and humans with the combination of realism and expressionism techniques. The strong colors are used to show contrast and add embellishment.'

Nurdles also known as "mermaids' tears", are plastic pellets, typically under 5 mm in diameter, that are a major component of marine debris. Marine debris is human-created waste that has deliberately or accidentally been released in a lake, sea, ocean or waterway. They are a raw material in plastics manufacturing, and enter the natural environment when spilled. Weathering produces even smaller pieces. Nurdles are highly dangerous to all sea dwellers, as they strongly resemble fish eggs and are therefore often mistaken as edible.

My practice is heavily influenced by my surroundings, whether that be the people who inspire me, the towns that surround me or the on goings of today’s society. The seaside for me has always been a place I can escape to, create memories and find inspiration. It is a scary thought that soon our blue planet may not look so blue due to pollution. I have created a series of five A6 pieces based on Marine pollution and the effects it’s having on our sea birds, the materials I have used are mixed media such as canvas, muslin, plastic, ink and thread.

Inspired by my surroundings, comprising of two nations. The differences in their characteristics. Issues of pollution and cleanliness of the two nations are noted through examination of their rivers. The river Ganges with immersions of religious, plastic and other harmful objects is paired with pure quality of water of Singapore depicted as bubbles. A state of ambiguity is generated by the pairing, when symbol of bubble is interpreted as both with limits and sterile, raising queries of ideal habitation.

​With sound pollution, we can see our relationship to sea creatures as redundant. Some whales beach themselves because of the degree of ship noise, sonar or seismic blasting. These vessels and machines drive our economies by sourcing or importing /exporting goods. I read a study as part of my final thesis that said some beached whales had ruptured membranes where the sound vibrates in their jaw bones.

I wanted to retain the beautiful image of the original postcard, but contrast the beauty with the harsh reality of ocean pollution.
