As the spring tides roll in, I am making a call-out for thousands of plastic litter items with which I will make 12 sculptures #LitterCUBES this year.
If you, your friends, beach cleaning groups, schools, business’s can help please get in touch. I am asking people to collect seven “known offenders” to illustrate the volume, nature and energy contained in the plastic litter on our beaches.
I am arranging for collection barrels to be placed in the locations I will be working in and I will send out bags and labels for posting smaller items like fishing line and cotton bud sticks. #LitterCUBES will be completed and shown at the following locations in 2019
This project is being made possible with partial funding from individual donations, r.a.g and Schallion co-operative giving collectives, Tayside Biodiversity Partnership , Eyemouth Marine and with much in-kind support from Eyemouth, Ullapool, Dunbar Harbour Trusts and Eyemouth and Ullapool arts centres.
I am waiting for decisions on several applications, but the project still needs your continued support. Please donate using the DONATE button at the top of this page.

Hi Iris
#litterCUBES are the name I have given to the sculptures I will be making this year : they will literally be large CUBES constructed out of the litter items I’m collecting. You can see images on the following blog page https://littoralartproject.com/littercubes/ and see the making of a maquette #litterCUBE on https://vimeo.com/281404066
let me know what you think ! Julia
