Artist
Part of events on ArtRabbit in: Lyme Regis
Nigel Dawes has been working with found objects throughout his artistic career, more recently with found plastic objects and fragments. He loves the versatility, the intensity of colour, industrial neutrality, and most of all, the way they record their histories over time and space. An interest in collecting and exploring the landscape eventually merged into multiples and site specific art installations. He collects and manipulates discarded plastics of all kinds to create sculptures using adhesives, rivets, cutting and slotting together. Sources of materials include beaches, the countryside, cities, any place where discarded plastic objects are dumped or reappear.
