TEN DRINKS CANS STANDING ON THE WALL
I walked from my house, camera in hand to document the state of my local streets (mainly litter strewn). What caught my eye was the frequency of drinks cans left on walls and railings. This echoed with the childhood song ‘Ten Green Bottles Standing on the Wall’. And so, I looked out for 10 drinks cans perched on walls or railings. I thought this would be a playful way to deliver the anti-littering message rather than being preachy.

And if one drinks can should accidentally fall.
They’ll be one drinks can littering the floor.
A series of 10 acrylic paintings on waste cardboard, which was destined for my recycling bin. Each piece is approximately A4 in size.
