HOW THE PLASTIC OCEAN SCULPTURES ARE CREATED
The first step is a black and white oil painting.
The painting is then photographed and converted into a 3-D STL file.
The digital file is used to carve the 3-D image onto a sheet of white HDPE recycled plastic.
This is what it looks like with light behind it.
The sculpture is mounted on a light box for final display.
From painting to lightbox sculpture.
The purpose of these sculptures is to create something original and beautiful from recycled plastic while at the same time drawing attention to the overwhelming amount of plastic waste that is polluting our oceans.
