Recent finds - collected on a beach in a small cove. Plastic, rubber, shoe leather and a wonderful bone-like piece of driftwood. #finds #found #gathered #discarded #reclaimed #fragments #remnants #collected #beachfinds #fromthesea #seaplastic #collection #foundobjects #coastalwalk #wander #wonder #materiallife #visuallife #senseofplace #4 #saveourseas #lifted #materiality #visuallanguage #seashore #tideline #shoreline #coast #artpractice #beachcomber https://www.instagram.com/p/B9wT1LRpUxI/?igshid=14cgpsjgcbs8g

Work in progress - making sone pieces for @steinbeisserorg. This is a large spoon using a beach found sea plastic pen. The other photos show roughly how I came up with the shape using wire and mark making to sketch out the idea in 2D and 3D. Part of a small series coming soon. #workinprogress #process #seaplastic #rework #reimagine #collected #gathered #made #fabricated #flatware #tablescape #spoon #silver #contemporarycraft #contemporaryart #contemporarydining #tableware #silversmithing #sculptural #metalwork #contemporarymetal #metalsmith #metalist #stuartcairns #contemporaryirishart #artist #maker #smith #irishartist #sculptural #assemblage https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ttpfoprAI/?igshid=q6uh6is4a4qw

Work in progress - gathered sea plastic fragments reworked and bound into a steel outline with antique Irish linen thread. The essence of a new piece coming together, the bound pieces seem precious like a blessing.. #workinprogress #seaplastic #fragments #remnants #binding #linenthread #blessing #gathered #found #reclaimed #materiallanguage #visualpoem #visuallanguage #utensils #implements #strangetools #flatware #leffel #tablescape #contemporaryirishart #contemporarycraft #contemporarysculpture #fromthesea #stuartcairns #artist #maker #smith #environmentalart https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxrus8GFh0I/?igshid=9avvuq4seku2
