Artists’ Talk: Art From Plastic Debris | Berkeley

The Langs use their artistic sensibility and archaeological perspective to create artwork from plastic debris that washes up at Point Reyes National Sea Shore. Using these materials, the Langs tell objects’ stories while commenting on our throwaway culture.
