picking up – 1000 yards of one beach
Richard and Judy Lang have collected plastic debris since 1999 from 1000 yards of Kehoe Beach in Point Reyes National Seashore and create museum-worthy art.
In one year they easily gather 4000 pounds of plastic. Meanwhile, as Judith says, “We are not cleaning the beach, we are curating the beach,” as they select only plastic in the colors and shapes for which they are searching. What could be a depressing or overwhelming issue to face, the Langs appear to address it with interest and careful observation. ”The opposite of beauty is really not ugliness,” says Richard, “The opposite of beauty is indifference. We are trying not to be indifferent about this and about the world.”
nice to be on the same wavelength
just like magnetic north and true north, the opposite of beauty is really not ugliness – the opposite of beauty is indifference says Richard
there are polar opposites and functional opposites
the opposite of love is not hate, but indifference
