"Outside of the Box" Series

 

     In this series, I painted trash onto tree bark and placed it on different trees in different areas of my school. The main focus of these pieces is the trash and creates emphasis. The trees in these pieces also create movement and balance throughout the pieces. 

     I tried to represent the trash and pollution in our school and on a larger scale, the world and how it affects the plants and trees within our environment. I believe this was not as successful as it could be because I believe it does represent pollution well, but it does not work as a piece as a whole. I feel as though it could be better if there were different paintings for each tree.
