Artist Statement
Jessica says “The Grand River is one of the most well-known rivers in this community. One of the structures that contribute to sustaining the marine life in this river, is the Brenke fish ladder. Plastics are one of the most mismanaged and potent materials for our environment. With this installation, I am hoping the work will provide a sense of awareness for maintaining trash and what is considered recyclable.”
