Couple Transforms Beach Plastic Into Works of Art

For artists Richard Lang and Judith Selby Lang, visiting their favorite stretch of Northern Californian coastline is a like taking a trip to an art-supply store. For the over 10 years, the couple has been collecting bits of plastic debris, washed-up remnants of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, and transforming them into works of art which highlight the perilous state of our oceans -- while at the same time making something beautiful. "We really like to say this is a love story," says Judith.
