RECYCLED GARDEN



This was one of my favourites this year, though I realise now that I haven't shown it in its entirety. It was in fact a fairly large wreath, all made up of found plastic objects, put together to form flower-like structures. It is by Jane Gillings.

I spent ages looking at them all, they were very intricate and quirky, like this (you can click on the smaller images to enlarge them):

The artist's statement:

Using the products of a throw away society, my garden needs no water to survive and forms a wreath in its own memory.

Thank you Jane!
