Overview of this event
Lake Macquarie-based artist Marina DeBris presents Beach Couture: A Haute Mess. This exhibition highlights a selection of her 'Trashion' scenes produced while working with materials scavenged from Sydney Eastern suburbs beaches and represented in Elizabeth Bay House.
Marina DeBris trained as a graphic designer at the Rhode Island School of Design, USA and became interested in the issue of marine pollution after moving from Bondi to Los Angeles. She first began collecting trash during her daily runs on Venice Beach, simply in an effort to maintain the beach's beauty.
Fuelled by her growing concern for the ocean's health, she began to turn the trash into art in hopes of drawing attention to the alarming developments she was seeing on the beach.
