My photographic illustration work involves the building of collages/ assemblages using both 3D objects and 2D imagery. The collage is then photographed with a large format camera and studio lighting so that the work can be produced in print form.The work has attracted a wide variety of assignments from advertising, design, publishing and editorial fields. I have also created several permanent installation pieces.
Clients include: Porsche, Daimler Chrysler, Honda, Ernest & Julio Gallo Wines, Sony, Compaq, Patek Philippe, Natwest Bank, Norwich Union, British Midland Airways, Beggars Banquet Records, XL Records, The BBC, The Times, The Financial Times, The Economist Magazine, Mens Health Magazine, GQ Magazine, Esquire Magazine, Sainsburys Magazine, Harper Collins Publishing, Penguin Books, Hodder & Stoughton Publishing, Orion Publishing, Transworld Publishing. ...more
Starting in 2004 I have been working on design projects which revolve around the collections of objects. The objects are normally collected in large quantities categorized and assembled in a way that transforms their meaning. My work is about giving banal and overlooked objects a new significance. The finished piece of work takes various forms such as chandeliers, installations, functional and sculptural objects.

The Salvager - Rico Daniels

Rico Daniels
Extreme recycler and star of The Salvager, and the follow up Le Salvager - his own series for Discovery Real Time. Each show sees him knock up something weird and wonderful from the most unlikely mix of rubbish and reclamation – such as a TV/DVD entertainment unit that was once a galvanised water tank and two 50s fire extinguishers.
Inspired by his upbringing in the East End of London in the 1950s, Rico spent his time salvaging from ruined houses and factories around him. When he’s not up to his elbows in rubbish, Rico likes nothing more than a spot of fire-breathing, axe-throwing or knocking out a tune on his blues harmonica.

Change the World for a Fiver: We Are What We Do

CLEAN GREEN LIVING GRAFFITI made from moss!

Eco-minded street artist Edina Tokodi is putting a new spin on green guerilla tactics in the trendy art enclave of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Tokodi’s site-specific moss installations of prancing animal figures and camouflage outgrowths are the talk of a local urban neighborhood typically accustomed to gallery hype and commercial real estate take-overs. Unlike the market-driven art featured in sterile, white box galleries, the work of Tokodi is meant to be touched, felt, and in turn touch you in the playful ways that her animated installations call to mind a more familiar, environmentally friendly state in the barren patches of urban existence.

Tokodi believes strongly that the reactions of passersby (or the lack of any reaction at all) is really an indicator of a deeper malaise that we need to pay attention to and reseed with “mentally healthy garden states” and direct interactive engagement.

Recycling Sculpture by Tony Cragg

British-born sculptor Tony Cragg uses color families and a carefully curated collection of flotsam and jetsam in his large-scale installations. Born in Liverpool, Cragg has an amazing collection of pieces made from found materials from household trash to construction refuse. We love the impressionistic charm of his pieces- gorgeous and graphic from far away, intricate and detailed from up close.

From afar, Cragg’s installations take the shape of graphic forms, even one as a British flag. But up close and personal, the colorful shapes are made from things like toothbrushes and metal washers, all painted to create a stunning and colorful piece. His other sculptures include wood furniture, all of which are reclaimed

Plastic waste cups

There was a load of clear plastic cups that were about to thrown away, so what could be done with them?.......

.....I looked at shapes that could be created from them and made in to something of use.

it would save them being put in to the waste and it could be made in to something of beauty and style, maybe a light maybe sculpture or part of a piece of furniture?

...........what would you do with something which would normally be thrown away, some thing that apparently had come to the end of its life?

..................How would you give waste a new life?

Five green bottles sitting on the wall..........

....after thinking about the story of stuff i have been looking at the

story of the plastic, bottle what happens to it, what gets

recycled from it, and what can i do with it.

So i have been collecting lots of different types of bottles

and experimenting with them to see what i can create from them.

"The root of my interests lies in sustainable waste management.
At present it has manifested itself into a designer maker practice.
I have designed an aesthetic and decorative fabric from which most people in the western world would perceive to be waste/rubbish.
The fabric is composed of plastic drinks bottle bases, which have been cut, sanded and then tagged together.
I love seeing design opportunities where most people only see problems"
