The “Womb” sculpture was a work from my hanging installation series, which evolved very naturally. It originated from fisherman's netting which I found on the north coast beaches. As I worked with this in the studio it began to take the shape of a kind of pregnant shape which at first had many holes in it. I mended all of those holes and began to draw it together and saw that it naturally started to take the shape of a kind of a kind of pregnant shape or womb. It was in this shape that I began to put literally hundreds of empty Coca-Cola plastic bottles and drink bottles and mineral water bottles that I had found on the beaches over the years. I was amazed to see the sculpture take on is such a significant shape as the one that it did, because it naturally followed the contours of a womb shape, hence the name. In many ways this is also how the other works from my hanging installation series came about. Quite accidentally as an evolving process.
