The first Artworks

I started experimenting with the bags to see if they could be used in the same sort of manner as paper or even paint. So the first works were basically collage.

It was around that time that a group I am part of - Red Dot http://www.red-dotexhibitions.co.uk/ were staging a recycling exhibition at the Academy in Liverpool.
I wanted to put the new work into this exhibition, but was slightly put off exhibiting collages, as I thought it was a too obvious medium.
So...can bags mimic any other medium? Looking at a jumper draped over a chair gave me the idea.

'True North' and 'Magnetic' : knitted carrier bags, and exact copies of two of my paintings, were exhibited in the exhibition.
