Environmental Art is becoming a popular trend in today’s “Earth-conscious” world. As landfills reach capacity, the need for alternatives to trash disposal are becoming greater and greater by the day. Some artists have chosen to express their concern for the growing landfill problems with their artwork. For instance, artists like John Dahlsen, have chosen to utilize the excess trash to create art that is provocative due to its unique composition and its implicit message. By using the trash, and presenting it as art, environmental artists have come to the forefront of art movements worldwide. As the problem continues to grow, so will the art that protests it. With all bad situations, a silver-lining is usually included, and this is no different. I find that the thought process that goes into these large-scale installation pieces are influential on my style as both require extensive thought and meticulous execution to work appropriately.
