RUST !

I Was up in Aberdeen for new years this year visiting my mum, dad and sisters.  before having to catch  the train back down to wales we went for a picnic and walk about 45 minutes drive north of Aberdeen!It was a really cold wet and windy day. so we ate our lovely sandwiches in the car before wrapping up warm and heading out. There is something cosy about all being squished up in the car on a cold day eating a picnic . 

We went by a little fishing port where they had  metal containers storing all the lobster pots and fishing Nets. The Photos above are of one that that had the number 17 on and that was the most rusty . I love the mix of colours and the speckle of the white coming through the navy blue. I think there is a hidden beauty to rust and the layers it builds up.  

I think this is the direction my work is going to take next. lots of testing of materials being worked in different ways almost being discarded.
