The objects around us tell a story—of ourselves, of our environment and of the opportunities and challenges that surround us in any moment. When we take the time to notice and interact more intentionally with these objects, we can use them as a catalyst for change—both for ourselves and for others.
When I found this giant discarded fishing net, I knew I had to make something cool out of it that gave it new life but also told the story of how abandoned fishing nets like this can also hurt and kill other animals. I will share my creative process with it below—and I hope that you will share ideas and things you are inspired to make with found objects around you!
