Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea – by Christina Verderosa
166
VIEWS
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Two installations in Norfolk show that art can be made from just about anything.

The first stop in this art tour is the traffic light at Norview Avenue and Azalea Garden Road, just outside Norfolk International Airport. If you’re lucky the light will be red which will give you the chance to study “Navigator,” the remarkable 24-foot blue heron sculpture that sits at the intersection.


Navigator – The 24 foot blue heron “Navigator” greets drivers approaching Norfolk Airport.

“Navigator” is made from decommissioned aircraft with steel structural elements and handblown glass eyes. According to the Norfolk Arts website, the sculpture commemorates flight in two ways, both the “aluminum birds” that people get into every day at the airport and the blue herons who call Hampton Roads home. The sculpture was designed by Don Kennell and the DKLA Design Team from Santa Fe, NM. For more information go to https://norfolkarts.net/artwork/airport-artwork/.

Plastic Jellyfish – The Creamsicle Jelly greets visitors at the entrance to the Baker Hall Visitor Center at NBG
Flip Flop Fish – It’s not just plastic bags and bottles that are accumulating on our beaches and in our oceans. The flip flop fish shows how this disposable footwear is also an environmental hazard

Once the light turns green, turn left onto Azalea Garden Road to see “Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea,” at Norfolk Botanical Gardens. For the past ten years, the educational nonprofit Washed Ashore has teamed with organizations and individuals to collect 26 tons of debris off beaches. Some of that debris has been turned into the 15 sculptures that make up the Norfolk installation.

The sculptures are fascinating to look at, but they are meant to make a larger point. According to the World Economic Forum & the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, by 2050 there will be more plastic in the oceans by weight than there are fish. NBG and Washedashore.org are asking the public to take the Washed Ashore pledge, which includes several steps to reduce the amount of plastic in the oceans.

The exhibit runs until October 31. For more information go to https://norfolkbotnicalgarden.org/washed-ashore-2021.

ABOUT US


Our goal is to create an online newspaper where the good can be seen in our communities and where the excellence of neighbors can be celebrated and encouraged. We hope you will join us!
Welcome to “The Bulletin Post!”

DONATIONS



The Bulletin Post is the result from years of ideas and conversations between neighbors. Over the years
we’ve noticed the lack of uplifting, positive community news and stories in the local press.
In February of 2020 that opportunity presented itself, and we felt that God had been leading us to begin
this online newspaper and we dove straight in.
We were homeschooled through high school and own several of our own businesses, but more
importantly, we have a passion for our community. If you share this love for the Newport News and surrounding areas you can send a little our way through donations. Thank you.
