Beach-found detritus - PETE water bottles,
plastic toy animals, and consumer product packages —
are the subject and medium of Karen Hackenberg’s
current artwork. Painting in oil and gouache, she
meticulously crafts images of commercial beach
flotsam. In the Watershed paintings, the artist
presents humorous ironic images of our new
post-consumer creatures of the sea. Castaways from
grocery shelf life, synthetic products proudly and
cheerily proclaim their natural rights as they
strand and break apart on inter-tidal coasts. As
gyres of garbage swirl in the Pacific, plastic
becomes the new sand.
