Making art from environmental crises
Work by painter/experimental artist Sinikka Nogelo, who has created art based on abstractions of such environmental challenges as the atmosphere’s ozone hole, oil spills and melting polar ice. The discovery of gyres of plastic in the oceans spurred her to three-dimensional action with her series of wall pieces made out of plastic. This piece can be seen at the Cape Ann Museum’s White-Ellery House, in Gloucester, Mass.
