Installation

Margaret Craig's Installation, Monsters in the Window, transformed the art space into a habitat for aquatic evolutions arising from the plastic trash disposed of in the oceans and other places.

Bioluminescent creatures glow from beyond the white picket fence of the children's vegetable garden (November 19, 2021 – January 2, 2022).

The viewer is invited to immerse in the authentic and chimeric undersea biology resulting from the accumulation of trash in the ocean. SITE Gallery Houston, The Silos at Sawyer Yards.

The expanding trash reef and details - a bleached translucent section, marbled features, an anemone formed from a discarded yogurt bottle.

The Great Trash Reef synthesizes waste materials and salvage into alternative life forms. Gyre currents in the world's oceans accumulate trash into islands. Their predominant component is plastic, which breaks down into smaller neurostatic bits, or nurdles.

These synthetic lifeforms represent life as it adapts to how we as humans disturb the environment.
