Wicked Monstrous might be an understatement when describing plastic, but it is the moniker ecoartspace is using to describe a year of programming that will result in a monstrous compendium of artists working with plastic along with a series of ZOOM panel discussions.

This winter/spring we are exploring through a series of dialogues, works that our members are making today that engage plastics as a material for reuse, research, and aesthetic inquiry. Artists invited are included in the upcoming ecoartspace book titled Wicked Monstrous, that will launch fall 2026.

For this third Dialogues, we will hear from Christy Rupp, who will discuss her work made with single use plastic debris reconstructing planktonic forms, and Pamela Longobardi who will present her ongoing work with the Drifter’s Project, which has removed tens of thousands of pounds of waste materials from the natural environment. And Judith Selby Lang and Richard Lang, who will share their collaborative practice One Beach Plastic, which they began in 1999.

Each presenter will have approximately 15 minutes to discuss their work, then Q&A with audience participation following.
