After much adding up of objects/materials found on the beaches, transcribing of notes and cataloging photographs, this week I am setting about experimenting with ways to visually respond to my findings.
Perhaps one of the most poignant findings is the hidden nature of the volumes of litter that we are contributing too on our beaches: buried beneath the sand, caught between the rocks, entangled in the seaweed, covered by vegetation.
It is this unseen nature of beach litter and the longevity of the plastics that we find that I am now presently addressing in the studio, the results of which I will install/perform in a few weeks time in Ullapool.
littoral: sci-art project 
Do children growing up now see these things as part of nature, like we used to find unusual shells and wonder where they came from? Exposing them is essential to asking where that came from and what they are doing to the sea and the shore.
Remember that it is the litter of generations of sea creatures, ie their skeletons, that now form chalk downland, and long dead trees that form coal, what will our litter turn into over millions of years – fossilised debris?
I recall the plastic wall of litter created by the wind on a fence on the islay coast.
Are we destined to live with a different beach sand from now on coloured with micro plastic?
If a tax on plastic bags why not on other plastic litter?
What is the analogy with invisible nuclear particles at dounreay and the nuclear waste from foukoashima?
