Sea Turtles: Art + Oceans + Plastics Project Updates

When I began to think about plastic,
I wondered how an art project could answer one question
How can I make a difference?

How can I possibly
make a difference?  

This is the first model !

At work on larger model: Newburport 2019.

           This piece is currently returning from exhibits in Franconia Notch, NH and Newburyport, MA.

Building awareness is step one! THANK YOU! By donating you will receive a handmade postcard and your very own small metal sea turtle emblem! (please send email to asiascudder@gmail.com with best mailing address).

I hope this sea turtle brings to life the voice of those of use who feel as if the Earth matters! Tough decisions have to be made that may influence our lives/ interrupt convenience factors in our lives, but it is well worth the effort!

By providing a larger-than-life sea turtle structure I can join in their efforts! We need to work together!

The story that continues to unfold now:  Over 1 million marine animals (including mammals, fish, sharks, turtles, and birds) are killed each year due to plastic debris in the ocean. Currently, it is estimated that there are 100 million tons of plastic in oceans around the world. It is expected that another 60 billion pounds will be produced this year alone. In some areas, the buildup of plastics is estimated to span 5 million square miles. To put it into perspective, that is the equivalent of the area of the U.S. plus India.    https://conserveturtles.org/information-sea-turtles-threats-marine-debris/
