time for some art

 "Talking Rubbish"


Finding myself at home with a large list of intended art projects to work through (as well as a mountain of books to read), I have finally begun to knuckle down and get some ideas resolved.

On my walks on the beach and the streets wherever I am I pick up pieces of plastic rubbish. Over several days recently I collected 20 or so pieces of white plastic strapping from the delivery lane at the back of the New World Supermarket.

I have photographed and Photoshopped them into a sheet of "text" - an artwork I have entitled "Talking Rubbish".

More of my games with plastic trash can be found on my "Trashzilla" blog at:

Bird from a car tyre

A recycled car-tyre swan .......or is it a flamingo? This beautiful bird is made from a car tyre. They used to be quite common in front gardens here in NZ when I was a kid - long ago last century. You hardly see them anymore & I was pleased to find this one up north. I am trying to figure out how to make them - evidently there is a trick in turning the tyre inside-out. Sourcing tyres without steel webbing is also an issue. If anyone has any tips either way I would be grateful for some assistance.

No Bull

I found these bicycle parts in a dumpster recently. The wires are the brake cables - I am not sure whether to leave them on or cut them off? I kind of like them. A possible title for this piece is “No Bull” - references to Picasso’s original sculpture & Magritte’s “This is not a pipe” being intentional. Otherwise it could be a “Recyclabull”?
