Plastic Poetry 002 "THE OCEAN IS ALWAYS A SHOVELFUL AWAY WATCH HOW THE WORLD BUBBLES UP THROUGH THE LIMESTONE

In April 2021, Free Plastic and O, Miami installed their second in a series of public art works entitled Plastic Poetry. Plastic Poetry is a series of community activations that mashes up an educational workshop on the realities of recycling and plastic pollution with community/beach cleanups, public art, and poetry.

Located inside the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Biscayne Nature Center hangs an excerpt from Cherry Pickman’s poem “Tropical Disturbance”. The five-inch tall polypropylene letters are rendered in 6.2 pounds of recycled post-consumer plastic and plastic pollution harvested from a beach cleanup held at the Nature Center on February 18. 2021.
