Plastic polution is hanging over our heads

OVER 1000 plastic milk bottles were used to create the thought-provoking art installation that hangs over the ramp walkway at The J.
The art piece is part of the Noosa Long Weekend Festival and was created by Jan Dunlop, Yanni Van Zijl and Pam Walpole, who are also known as the Artx3 group.
The group installed the art as a way of communicating the threat to the environment and like to use recycled, sustainable materials for their works to reinforce their messages such as the blight of plastic that causes pollution along the coast.
Yanni and Pam washed and cleared the labels off the over 1000 plastic milk bottles and each artist has made a chandelier that hangs above the courtyard and is artfully lit with blue and green lights.
Jan has created a wardrobe of exquisite garments made from baking paper and can be viewed on the upper level of The J.
The group has also installed a cross made from the remnants of the plastic milk bottles.
