The inspiration for my artwork comes from my passion for beachcombing. which I do along the shores of the Isle of Colonsay where I live. A small Inner Hebridean Island off the West coast of Scotland.
	These beach litter assemblages are my personal response towards the large quantities of mainly plastic detritus that I find washed in daily along the tide line on the islands beautiful coasts
I am fascinated by the variety of objects I collect but it disturbs me that such large quantities pollute the sea and harm the wildlife within it. Unsightly litter also spoils the beach environment for the visitors and is a constant problem for those who have to collect and dispose of the rubbish.
	The purpose of my work is to encourage the spectator to reflect upon these issues and at the same time. hopefully. raise an awareness of this problem.
These collections are also works of art and very unique to a particular island location. I have chosen these special pieces of litter either for their visual qualities or their associations with the people who have used them before they were washed up on the shore.
