Garden of Plastic Delights
I,ve been exploring some new materials this summer.
£1 shops & markets are full of very cheap plastic imports,
domestic items for house,garden, beach or picnic.
These have become involved with some artificial flowers &
some cheap chinese dolls,
On the astro-turf,amoungst the picnic-ware, a garden of plastic delights is evolving.
Plant-life & plastic planting have been a re-occurring theme
(Look under “PLANTS” in “WORKS”
