‘Tears of the Sea’ with Lynn Dodge

‘Tears of the Sea’ 25.5” x 37.5” framed, mixed media assemblage (left and above). This artwork was created by found object sculptor Lynn Dodge and mixed media artist Karen Haub. The Channel Islands marine debris volunteers are stewards of the ocean who collect and remove plastics and trash that endanger and kill marine and island life native to Santa Cruz Island, this is some of the debris removed from Santa Cruz Island, which acts as a trash barrier to the Santa Barbara and Ventura coastal areas. Due to its position in the current flow of the Pacific Garbage Patch, a lot of plastic debris littering the ocean washes up on the south facing side of Santa Cruz Island endangering and killing native birds, sea birds, marine life, and island foxes.
