What Three Words?

What three words would you choose to describe these gulls?


What three words would you choose to describe your drawings?

What three words would you use to describe your sculptures?


For the JUNK GULLS I have chosen words that can be applied to both real life gulls, and my gull sculptures. 

1: Resourceful: Gulls are known for their ability to find food, whether by hunting or scavenging.  Similarly, I’ve been resourceful with waste materials, turning trash into something else.  

2: Opportunistic: Gulls exploit immediate opportunities, which is why they are able to spread so successfully in previously unexploited habitats (like Worcester city centre, far away from what we would perceive as a gull’s traditional home, the seaside!).  Similarly, I have been opportunistic in exploiting rubbish to make art.

3: Playful: Gulls engage in activities like chasing and diving, showing a playful side; I hope these gulls, created with a lighthearted creativity, provoke amusement and joy. 

I’d love to hear yours!
