A new kind of art exhibit is coming to the San Francisco Zoo that doesn’t concentrate on the artists or even the work being displayed but on the materials themselves.
Washed Ashore, the zoo’s newest temporary exhibit, features giant, eye-grabbing sculptures of gigantic sea creatures that have been made completely from trash — mostly plastic debris — that was found along shorelines across the nation. The pieces themselves result from community members coming together at their local beaches, collecting as much debris as possible and then bringing it all back to turn into works of art.
