Handcrafted works of multimedia artist Jo Stodgel
Just managed to finish up this piece during a few quick days in Santa Fe. It is a picture of friends Sid and Thomas at a bouldering wall in Grasshopper Canyon. Acrylic on wood with added ink detail and a homemade wooden frame by my brother James Stodgel of ONLY GREEN DESIGN.
Behold, the humble eco-brick – a plastic bottle stuffed with all things non-biodegradable. Whilst the so-called revolutionaries burn tires, break things and produce massive mountains of smoking trash, hard-at-work others stuff the dread and wastage of the industrial machine into little bottles and build places of council and learning with them. This revolution is not fought with burning molotov cocktails poised for destruction, but plastic bottles eating trash in an act of simple implosion that brings together the disintegrated synthetics and threads of an unraveling global supply chain.
What do you put forth into the world?
