Povera is an ongoing project, consisting of the use of waste products from skips and other peoples unwanted items.
This ever-evolving work incorporates the Shed (Povera) and makes the garden the canvas to display Povera in it’s entirety. While some may appreciate the outside will look at Povera from within. Povera is art within art.
My work involves the use of many materials ranging from broken glass, wood and sash cord, basically anything that I can recycle. I have been working in construction for over thirty years where I collect materials left over from various trades. One of my favourite sources for obtaining materials are the skips on site. I can be spotted most days on the underground stations with salvage materials for my next project.
This is my way of showing appreciation for nature and my surroundings by reusing old materials and repurposing it to make something unique.
This exhibition portrays my inspiration of the world around me.
