Plastic in the Trees 2

Have you ever seen anything like this?!  This glorious 43” x 43” wall hanging is woven with yarn and plastic shopping bags.  The strikingly elaborate pattern and the multitude of colorful components make this a breath-taking visual work.  Julie labeled this series Plastics in the Environment and has managed to create beauty from humanity’s environmental faux pas.  This piece needs a very special home, prominently displayed.  Arts That Work is extremely proud to offer this stroke of genius.

Plastic in the Trees 1

From her series Plastics in the Environment, the artist has fashioned beauty from the mundane, a symphony of colorful yarns woven into plastic shopping bags to create this 42” x 43” grandeur.  The celestial energy that resonates from this piece, with its varied textures and fluctuating hues, is splendid and profound.  (Can you tell I really like Julie’s work?)

Lee’s Surrender III

This beautiful composition of eye-catching pattern and texture is fashioned from yarn woven with cassette tape.  How does she do this???  Julie has mastered the fabrication of majestic art from everyday environmentally questionable plastic items.  It takes a very enlightened eye to envision artistic potential from cassette tape.  What a gift!  This lovely wall hanging, measuring 22” x 15”, belongs in a place of distinction in your home.

Plastic in the Oceans

Attempting to raise our consciousness as to the devastating environmental effects of the everyday plastic shopping bag, Julie has woven a thing of great beauty.  Employing yarns and plastic shopping bags to craft this intricate composition, the piece is not only visually and texturally enchanting, it also makes a powerful statement.  The pattern’s flow is mesmerizing.  The message is unequivocal.  38” x 38”.

Got Textiles?

Cleverly disguised as an intriguingly unique wall hanging, this intricately woven beauty is composed of yarn and torn fabric.  The textures, the patterns, the colors, the composition, it all melds into a feast for the senses.   I love the way Julie incorporates messages into her art work, sometimes subtly, sometimes not so subtly…  40” x 38”.

This Bag is Not a Jellyfish

An energetically charged wall hanging in the series Plastics in the Environment, this superbly woven pattern of yarns and plastic shopping bags demonstrates that splendor can indeed emanate from the even the most commonplace sources.  Julie’s manipulation of plastic bags is a huge improvement over those that end up choking our oceans!  38” x 38”.
