Ocean plastics

Ocean Plastics

Piece description from the artist

On average, 8.7 billion kilograms of plastics enter the Earth's oceans every year; the equivalent of 850 shipping containers. (source: Ocean Plastics Lab) I got to experience this traveling exhibition during its stop in Brussels, Belgium at the European Parliament. This capture is of actual plastics pulled from the ocean on display in one of the shipping containers. Environmental visionary research programs such as this, along with immediate action, are needed now more than ever. You can view more information on this program at www.oceanplasticslab.net and support two programs I actively support: Ocean Conservancy (https://oceanconservancy.org/trash-free-seas) & The Ocean Project (www.theoceanproject.org)

This is a TurningArt exclusive limited edition print available in editions of 100.

About Ashland Thomas

Chicago, IL

Ashland grew up in Southeast Virginia surrounded by lush rural landscapes, great protected swamp lands, national & state parks, the Chesapeake Bay, the Eastern Shore, the breathtaking Skyline Drive & Blue Ridge Mountains, and the inlets & oceans of Virginia & North Carolina.

It was this constant variation in natural beauty that first drew his eye to the camera; that, and the constant joy of capturing life's candid moments on film. Although no particular subject is banned from the lens of Ashland's camera, it is landscapes, cityscapes, wildlife, and nature that truly captures his heart.

"There's always more to see, more to learn, more to be wowed about-I just hope you enjoy what I see in the world."

A constant staple on the likes of Instagram, Flickr, and Facebook, Ashland currently resides in Chicago, Illinois, and looks forward to many more years of development, collaboration, creativity, world travel, and art.
