Fishing for Biscuits

Fishing for Biscuits, fused plastic collage with paint and stitching, 21x21 cm

I have had a 'Tanzanian cold'.  Whether it was that, or the fact that I found no plastic by the side of the road, I had a limited amount of plastic to play with last week.  It also took me quite a few days to complete, but maybe that's a good thing? I have been thinking and looking more than usual, over time. 

As I began composing the piece, the colours made me think about Peter Lanyon again - I was soaring through the horizon in a glider.  But after assembling and resassembling, the sea declared itself. There is a bit of blueberry wrapper, the black of a Sainsbury salad bag.  Plastic turned over to make it grey and that shocking blue shimmery blue of a package of biscuits I couldn't stop eating.
