Spotted Jellies, Kara Daving

Spotted Jellies, 2007, acrylic on collaged plastic bags, 87"h x 54"w

By painting jellyfish onto collaged plastic bags Daving creates striking, luminous works that play upon similarities and contradictions between the natural and the synthetic. They also provide a sobering commentary on the over 1 million plastic bags used per minute worldwide and the impact plastic bags have on marine life.
