If you’ve followed my blog for a while, you are aware of an environmental art project that’s been in the making for three years: One Step at a Time Shoe Exhibition.
On June 11, 2014, we had the official opening and now the exhibition is on display at Once Upon a Dream Gallery and Gift Shop from now until August 16, 2014.
Here’s a little glimpse into the process of collecting, sorting, drying and creating art from shoes and boots – all collected from the North Cape Shores!
Hopefully, this exhibition will help raise awareness about ocean pollution, as well funds to rent boats and remove dangerous plastics from a beach or two!
Everyday life in the North Cape & North of Norway 
.from functional to ornamental: what a creative recycling of materials!
Thank you. It’s been a lot of fun.
Nice!!!
Takk!
So glad you took us to the see the exhibition and it’s artists. Best wishes for every success 🙂
Thank you. I’ll be posting more of the exhibition after the summer. Lot’s of interesting pieces.
We have to be encouraged by the activism of individuals – it’s the only way to drive the agendas. Look forward to the Autumn exhibit. 🙂
With best wishes for your goals
Thank you, Judith.
love your ideas!
Thank you and likewise 🙂
Fascinating!
Thanks, Cindi 🙂
Wow, it’s really awesome what you made from all these shoes. I really would like to see the exhibition but I’ll don’t go to Norway this summer. Good luck and many happy visitors!
Ha en flott dag. 😉
I’ll be sharing more photos at the end of the exhibition. Looking forward to showing all the different artwork that’s been created with the shoes.
Amazing and impressive ! The one that’s framed in white is really terrific !
Thank you for your kind words and thank you for sharing the link about Boyan Slat. Very inspiring!
Excelent! Very nice!
Thank you 🙂
En fantastisk återvinning ! … // Maria 🙂
I adore the creative recycling. I also like how the pictures help provoke thought. Makes me wonder the story of the previous owner of each shoe.
Thank you. I am also fascinated by the stories each shoe could tell – journeys, dreams, mysteries, adventures and every day life from unknown places. I’m looking forward to following your blog and being inspired. Thanks for stopping by!
interesting idea !
Thank you. Now I have a goal to collect 10,000 plastic bottle caps from the beaches and turn them into art. And I’m still making artwork from the shoes.
wow 10,000 !
🙂 Believe it or not, on some of the North Cape beaches, where the ocean currents are strong, we can find a few hundred in no time at all. This past summer my family collected 400 in a half hour. Crazy!
Incredible we don’t see that on the Mediterranean sea
