"Water is the muse that informs my art.
I have been working with plastic bottle tops as a medium for art for over ten years now.
I take my art to loads of events up & down the country to spread the message 'drink tap water' and leave alone the plastic entrapped value added waters, which most plastic bottle tops represent."
