New piece finished today. A lovely pair of oystercatchers built into an old discarded frame.
The legs are made from an old strap off some goggles and the bodies feature hair comes, ear buds and old cables and the beaks are made from an old bucket handle. All plastic was found on beaches and streets around Sussex.

Thank you to everyone who came down to first beach clean! I think around 11 people and two big blue bags of rubbish collected. After sorting through your bags I have a bag of fishing rope and line to be recycled and a few bits of plastic to be used in my artwork.

It was so great meeting and chatting to everyone. I forgot to take many pictures of all you lovely beach cleaners, so again a big big thank you to everyone who came down to keep our beautiful beach clean and support a great local business too.

The next beach clean will hopefully be a bit warmer on Thursday 5th March. Hope to see you there....

I'm back after a long time away from making anything new.
Introducing Little Egret. Made from over 250 pieces of plastic rescued from landfill, mainly found on the beaches and streets of Sussex. Mounted in a old repurposed frame found outside.
I'll be at beach clean on the 21st of February and this little fella may be there too if nobody snaps him up beforehand 😉

A little morning walk on the beach at and we came across the biggest pile of nurdles we've ever seen. Stretched as far as the eye could see. After picking up as much as we could including another bag of plastic, it didn't even make a dent. Felt so deflated and sad at what we are doing to this planet.

Today is ME/CFS awareness day. There is no cure, research is woefully underfunded, and many people suffer medical gaslighting.
I spent today doing something that I haven't been able to do in a long time. Stone-balancing.

Since being diagnosed 3 years ago, I haven't been able to walk on pebbly beaches for long before I start to get tired and experience high levels of pain.
Before, I would spend about 3 hours every other day walking the beach, cleaning the plastic waste, and using it my artwork. Which I miss dearly.

So stone balancing today was a little win, which I will savour. Relaxing and calming, being in an almost meditative state, purely focused on the stones, takes all of the thought off this relentless and depressing disease.

Thanks for reading.

This is Luna, and she is 5 today!!! She is my little shadow and best buddy. She is with me when I'm at my lowest and snuggles with me when I can't get out or in pain.
She has been by my side for all sorts of adventures, always bringing happy energy wherever she goes.
She has her friends around Shoreham by Sea, whom she adores and greets with a waggy bum and big grins.

A big shout out to Emma, who helped convince our lovely landlady to let us have a dog and ultimately bring this beautiful girl into our lives.
I may not have rescued Luna,but she has most definitely rescued me.

Thanks to the amazing and Wes for helping me to showcase my artwork. It's been a while since it's been out 'in the wild' so it's great to have a local place to share it with people. The plastic from my pieces was collected from local beaches and there are a range of film-based pieces alongside nature-based work. Head to the at to check it out and get a gift for someone special. If you could kindly share this post that would be aces.

Just watched the trailer for Venom 3 big fan of Tom Hardy, and I'm definitely looking forward to this one.
Here are the Venom and Carnage pieces that I made during Covid.

Venom is a fun one, with the tongue hanging over the edge. Made with lots of cotton buds.

Carnage is rather huge and scary. Made with nearly all the red plastic I had at the time.

Both pieces are made from plastic found on beaches and streets, and donations from and .

If you're interested in purchasing, please drop me a message, always open to offers 😃

This is the largest bird I've made. Nearly 1 metre wide!
There are lots of cool bits of plastic on this piece, including a disposable camera and an old sports watch.
The wings include many, many forks from salads and meal deals. It's scary but beautiful.

Please message if you're interested in purchasing.

Just finished watching all the Alien films again, I did this during covid lockdown, and I decided to make my own trash xenomorph. Lots of pen lids and filters used in this bad boy.
It's looking for a home on an 'Alien' fans wall perfectly safe and no acid blood in sight.
Message me for details.
