Julie A. McConnell?s photographs of beach litter assemblages, as viewed through eye-catching curtains of?rainbow-colored trash, are metaphors for her daily experience. ?When I walk on the shore, the garbage at my feet?infects my view of the sky. I try to clean up the mess but it feels futile, so I use what I find to create a visual?incentive for change.? McConnell says. Her work is made from the very plastic bottles, straws, fishing line, ropes,?dental-floss holders, combs, cans, styrofoam containers, and children?s toys that pile up on our beaches,?eventually degrade into microscopic particles, and come back to us dispersed as toxins throughout the food chain.?As an artist and photographer, she means to heighten our awareness of the pernicious way consumer culture?threatens the viability of the ocean to sustain life and imperils entire ecosystems. In asking us not to be taken in?by the convenience of disposable and often single-use items, McConnell makes her case with poetry, portent and?wry humor.
