Bottle Tops

A cluster of colourful plastic.

Why

There’s often a lot of plastic litter on the field in summer and whilst walking with my dog, I decide to just bring some of the bottle tops together to make a sort of point about the litter, but in a colourful display. I’d been collecting bottle tops that I’d been using at home because I thought I’d do something with them. Around the time of doing this, I decided to collect further plastic bottle tops I found on the field and streets etc and add them to the growing collection I had for some sort of project. I didn’t know what it would be. In October 2018 I decided that I should use a massive “Minge” for my living room, wall, but that’s another story that isn’t part of the public art collection.

When

August 2017

Where

On the playing field opposite my house

Materials / Media

Plastic bottle tops

Another version in a wide circle.

Execution

During the day while playing with my dog Hera. I could have carried on with this but I didn’t think that was a good idea what with it still being plastic and litter.

Notes

It’s not very impressive, but it didn’t need to get big, and besides, it inspired my massive “Minge” which features in the Art & Design pages.

Duration & fate

Kids don’t like art or order, so would kick them about to spoil it until I couldn’t be bothered rearranging it anymore or they got damaged by the grass-cutting tractor.
