Carol Larson - textile artist

My intention is to raise awareness about our daily plastic consumption through creative reuse. I hand-stitched my own plastic waste to a machine-stitched and painted textile surface. As a result of collecting these items, I have changed my own shopping habits and now completely avoid products packaged in single use plastic, particularly clamshells.
