Gyre: The Plastic Ocean by Julie Decker

A flip-flop discarded in Thailand finds its way to Hawaii, and a bottle cast off from Japan's tsunami is soon Alaska's beach litter. With stunning visual impact and an astonishing array of ocean trash, internationally recognized artists create works of art from debris collected from beaches around the world. Much of the oceans' trash is swirling in one of five gyres, which are large systems of rotating ocean currents.
Julie Decker is chief curator at the Anchorage Museum, Alaska. Decker has authored numer-ous articles and publications on the art and architecture of Alaska.
