Field View Collage

This is a collage made out of old Argos catalogues, the concept came from wondering around my local woods (a constant theme when i am searching for ideas.) The field at the top of the road had just been plowed. but what saddened me most was all the bits of junk paper and scrap crud that has been thrown in the hedges, I noticed a lot of the rubbish was from fly tippers buying stuff from cheap catalogue shops and then just throwing it away once they had the use they wanted out of it. I had little money at the time but wanted to express my views on this waste of our natural environment. So I took some photographs of the view as the wind blew in my face. and then on the way to the studio picked up a huge wedge or Argos catalogues and I think some holiday catalogues for the sky as I was passing through the shopping centre. This process continued for about 8 months. This is the result, This image was first exhibited as part of a show at Mansfield museum the theme being the effect of the closing of the pits in old mining villages like Cotgrave where I am resident. Alomg with its 4ft by 4ft sister collage which took over a year to produce and currently sits on my bedroom wall as I write this, that collage took over a year to make.
