Future life; the 'gift'

On Friday we visited Liverpool as part of our future life project. We looked round the Liverpool Biennial to explore the idea of gleaning through artworks and occupied spaces. We were asked to bring home a 'gift'- a gathering of site phenomena that expresses your views and thoughts on waste triggered by what you have observed.

Here are some pictures i took in Liverpool...

 Unused waste... gleaning?

 

 

 

 

 'pop up' style buildings



 

 

 

 

reusing unused objects in art.



 

 

I struggled to find something to bring back as a gift and was a little unsure of what was wanted but the object i finally chose to bring back was a bottle top. I think it is something small and simple to represent the problem of littering but at the same time it can be used in a really creative way to make something artistic....

 

 

I love how these bottle tops have been used to create a pebble- style flooring!

 

A cheap way to update your home...
