Description:
These Installation art works are a combination of elements that make up my work using found plastics.
The “Catch 3” sculpture was a work from my hanging installation series, which evolved very naturally. It originated from a tightly bound fisherman’s netting which I found on the north coast beaches. As I worked with this in the studio it began to take the shape of a large container which at first had many holes in it. I mended all of those holes and began to draw it together and saw that it naturally started to take the shape of a kind of container. It was in this shape that I began to put literally hundreds of empty Coca-Cola plastic bottles and drink bottles and mineral water bottles that I had found on the beaches over the years. I was amazed to see the sculpture take on is such a significant shape as the one that it did, because it naturally followed its own contours hence the name. In many ways this is also how the other works from my hanging installation series came about. Quite accidentally as an evolving process.
