An ethos of minimal waste permeates the entire creative process of our new North Wall Art, Erik Jon Olson. Using quilted plastic waste as his medium, Olson creates works that deal with the effects of consumerism, mass consumption and unfettered capitalism. By layering environmental issues with social justice messaging, his art emphasizes our alienation from the environment and each other. Erik will be here at UUCM next Sunday, September 15 for a “meet and greet”. He’s eager to share his message and methods with us.
