“I wanted to be involved because my artwork involves reclaiming disposable containers before the containers end up in a landfill or the ocean. I combined my collected plastic waste with the hubcap to produce one of my Harlequin characters, each of which expresses a particular emotion; here blocked stomach, the emotion is one of being overwhelmed.”Deirdre Fox
