Sustainable Art?

When we went to the Deep in Hull they had an exhibition by Martin Waters.

I found this work to be not only beautiful but also to highlight the effects of living in a disposable society. Much of his work is made from remnants of things he has collected from the beach. There was a collection of plastic forks, a collection of toy guns/water pistols that sort of thing, there were others arranged by colour.

I would like to try my hand at these, but with city waste. I would like to try it with the children but I am concerned about the health and safety aspects of that. I think I need to build up my collection of junk and then I too can make a disposed of montage.

Watch this space for green-eyed's environmental art.
