all of these small floats (buoys), that washed up onto our beach; The Plantation, in Chumporn. The floats were once tied to the top of fishing nets. These ones have come loose and found their way here. I have brought them together in a mixture of random weaving, silicone and glue to create this boy-like (some of the buoys are very phallic) sculpture. Like boys, this fellow is grubby and messy. He's made of rubbish that has washed up on the beach. He's complicated, complex and intricate (the main body of the work) and he is also pure, innocent and simple (the major buoy/head). He was just finished this weekend. He was 9 days in the making. He is 70cm tall and 45cm at his widest girth. He is made from recycled materials. He wants us to recycle more and more.
