Yesterday I added more to my sculpture Enough Rope in the Tāmaki Estuary Art & Ecology Prize exhibition, at Malcolm Smith Gallery. The idea is to keep adding to the rope over time, reflecting the endless production and consumption of single-use plastic. Enough Rope is braided from repurposed, single-use plastic. 📷 by curator Zoe Hoeberigs (@zoe.a.black) #sculpture #artwork #plastic #environment #contemporaryart #artwork #artgram #artstagram #artistsoninstagram #art #jjprojects #johnjohnston

A slightly different install variation of my Enough Rope work, currently on show in the Tāmaki Estuary Art & Ecology Prize exhibition at Malcolm Smith Gallery. The work consists of a coiled length of handmade plastic rope, braided from repurposed, single-use plastic. I'll be adding to the rope over time, including during the exhibition, reflecting the endless production and consumption of single-use #plastic. – #sculpture #artinstallation #artwork #plastic #environment #contemporaryart #artwork #artgram #artstagram #artistsoninstagram #art #jjprojects #johnjohnston

Final post on my 2 works installed down by the Whau River recently. This is a long rope made from repurposed single-use plastic. The installation was in association with a Whau River Catchment Trust (@whauriver) cleanup event. Some more images of the cleanup ➡ – #sculpture #artinstallation #artwork #plastic #environment #contemporaryart #artwork #artgram #artstagram #artistsoninstagram #art #jjprojects #johnjohnston

This is 1 of 2 outdoor sculptures I installed this past weekend. This first one, Plastic Whau Days, was on a boardwalk footbridge through mangroves over the Whau River, for the Whau Arts Festival (@whauthepeople). Both works were in association with Whau River Catchment Trust (@whauriver) river cleanup events. The works were made with repurposed single-use plastic bags.

Tomorrow I’ll be installing my Plastic Whau Days artwork for the Whau Arts Festival. The installation involves long lengths of handmade plastic rope covering the railings of a boardwalk footbridge. It's made from repurposed, single-use plastic. Come down to the Whau River tomorrow to check out the whole work. Swipe to next image to see location map. – – #artinstallation #sculpture #artwork #plastic #festival #contemporaryart #festival #artwork #artgram#artstagram #artistsoninstagram #art
