'The Moss
Wall Graffiti Sum'

by Eco Artist
Margaret Jennings

The artwork, a simple sum, evolved in response to how children might consider one time use plastic bottles, recycling and by implication plastic waste and its destructive impact to
the environment in general…whether land or marine life.
It is offered as a visual learning tool in a playful visual format.
 
Set in a children’s playground and the family orientated community ArtsCafé nearby, ‘The Moss Wall Graffiti Sum’, (needs care and attention to grow  organically on the appropriated surface), chimes with the need to reconnect ourselves to nature as a positive element enmeshed within its biodiversity.

How are we to communicate to children, in this consumer culture? positive environmental non destructive habits in this age… The Anthropocene?
‘The Moss Wall Graffiti Sum’ extended to a drawing workshop on 28th of May
for both children and adults, focusing on our thoughts and connections to nature. The drawings linking  to  ‘The Moss Wall Graffiti Sum’ in the playground.
