Britain's Rubbish (project update)
I’m working on the Britain’s Rubbish art project that I started last year, I always wanted to create a unique artwork that would help to illustrate the ideas behind the project, the concerns about the increased use of single use plastic and how this can find its way onto our beaches. I’ve never been a fan of bottled water, to me it is one of the worst examples of avoidable waste, it has to be the most common item of rubbish found on the beach and always seems to be found in the largest section of any supermarket. You can buy 20 bottles of water for less than £1. Turning some of the monoprints contributed to the project into labels for bottled water seemed like an obvious choice, even though it meant going to the supermarket and having to buy bottled water. This is still a work in progress and I will post updates as the final artwork is completed. The labelled bottles will also be taken onto the beach to be photographed (they will NOT be left there).
