Secret Garden
Mural painted on commercial building, in...
Atlanta (Kirkwood), Georgia, USA.
31 May 2023.
***************
▶ "Homegrown Georgia native, Thomas Turner, is a fine artist and muralist best known for creating subversive, thought-provoking artwork that tells a story and welcomes you to embrace his fantastical universe.
Thomas gained a degree from SCAD in fine art and illustration and hustled on the side until he was able to focus his time on exclusively creating artwork as a profession and labor of love. He brings more than a decade of experience to the Artscape as a specialist in large-scale murals and intricately detailed paintings and portraits. Thomas is most inspired by nature, reimagining the art of the possible, and the connectedness of nature and animals to the human experience."

Recycling bin for oyster shells, as seen (from the Stone Mountain Trail) behind the...
Decatur (Old Depot District), Georgia, USA.
15 January 2023.
***************
▶ "Oysters have become a renaissance species in the United States. They play a vital role in habitat restoration with the growing understanding that oyster reefs purify the waters in which they live and create preferred habitats for commercial and recreational fish species. Oyster reefs help stabilize shorelines and mitigate some of the impacts of sea level rise while acting as a carbon sink in part by improving the water’s capacity to absorb excess atmospheric CO2.
A vital component for restoration is shell that is used for hatchery produced oysters and to create a hard bottom, or substrate, to plant the oysters on. Many local communities are starting or operating recycling programs that collect shell from restaurant and the public and returning that shell to their local waterways to create new oyster reefs."
