decades ago, when Vancouver-based artist douglas
coupland first started working with plastic, the mate-
rial seemed “eternal, shiny and happy.” that changed
when coupland discovered plastic bottles from tokyo
washed up on the remote beaches of haida gwaii.
his newest exhibit, Vortex (to spring 2019), uses
plastic marine debris collected along Bc’s coast to
reimagine the pacific trash Vortex—also known as
the great pacific garbage patch—in a series of play-
ful, thought-provoking installations. the centrepiece, a
small Japanese fishing boat set adrift in the 2011 tsu-
nami, is now home to four figures, including a tweed-
jacketed andy Warhol. in a tank nearby, tiny fish dart
through a multi-coloured lego “reef.” across the
room, blue blubber jellyfish and yellow-capped plastic
bottles bob and drift in perfect harmony. long shelves
showcase assorted flotsam and jetsam, such as a
plastic snapple bottle cap emblazoned with the com-
pany’s slogan: “Made from the Best stuff on earth.”
