Green Art
As I was brainstorming for Bridge Project 4, I came across a green artist who creates installations to raise awareness about animal endangerment. Moreover, my Bridge Project 3 portrayed a lot about marine animals that die from ingesting plastics debris. Therefore, I thought it would be interesting to do research on Paulo Grangeon.
Artist’s Biographic Information
