Plastic Landscapes are created out of joy being outside among flopping sheets of plastic.It is a great feeling being around light plastic moved by wind. A lot of my recent work has been created in a desert, on a flat large dry lakes.It is a therapeutical experience for me, almost spiritual. I encourage anyone to spread light plastic in the wilderness and let the wind move it . I find it relaxing.I started to created those series out of boredom of classic landscape and passion for being outdoors.Some people see environmental message in this project.If my work is pleasing to eye, deeply enjoyable to create and opens conversation about use of plastic, I think I have done something good.
