Since 1999 Richard Lang and Judith Selby Lang as a collaborative team have been visiting Kehoe Beach, Point Reyes National Seashore in Northern
California.They have rambled 1000 meters of tideline of this one beach hundreds of times to gather plastic debris washing out of the Pacific Ocean and from this one beach have collected over two tons of material. By carefully collecting and “curating” the bits of plastic, they fashion it into works of art that matter-of-factly show, with minimal artifice, the material as it is. The viewer is often surprised that this colorful stuff is the thermoplastic junk of our throwaway culture.
The nearly 100 crowd-pleasing paintings in the exhibit are the antecedents of what is one of the most popular styles of art. With luxurious brushstrokes and gorgeous pastel colors, it is hard to imagine why Impressionist paintings and Post- ever evoked disdain and outrage. Today we thrill at the fanciful bustle dresses from the late 1800s and marvel at the similarity of their sashay to the balloons we often find on the beach.
Intrigued by the thought of our balloons on display as sashaying dancers, we photographed this series.
