Tar Assemblage Art - Beach Junk

My studio is right across the street from the beach.

Most days I take a run in the late morning and

sometimes stop to collect stuff from the beach for

assemblages. I try and take the stuff from the same

small section of the beach (about 50 yards). It is

interesting to see what floats or gets washed up

each day. I don’t collect every day but I do observe

the same stretch of sand. So this Tar Assemblage

art is a small sampling of junk washed up a couple

of days ago. After awhile one sees the same sort

of stuff reoccurring – lighters, bottle caps, plastic

cups – bottles – broken foam cups, etc. A real

mess on any given day and a real testimony to the

care so many give to the beach environment
