Plastics are currently taking over our oceans, and overflowing landfills. It is alarming, and this anxiety has propelled me to create a series of five lithographs that reflect on the current global crisis of accumulated waste, and how it affects us currently, and colours our future. I believe we can transform waste into some- thing reusable and beautiful, and to continue life mindfully by cutting back on plastic production.

Accessibility

We are partially physically accessible. We have a level entrance leading to our shop, information desk, galleries, washroom and traditional print studio. Unfortunately, we do not have automatic doors or an elevator. We are working toward becoming a physically accessible space in the future.
