‘Beach Findings’ is based on the efforts of local people to clean up Morecambe Bay. I visited several litter picking events organised by Beach Care, Wyre Countryside Park, and Marine Conservation Society over the summer and autumn 2006 in order to talk to the volunteers. I noted my own responses. The written pieces were developed from these.
I took photographs of the litter and collected small items of litter. I made the collagraph plates using some items of litter in each.

The project was funded by Arts Council England, the national development agency for the arts, through its Grants for the Arts programme for individuals and organisations.
It was match-funded by Urban Splash.
In September I received a place on the Artists Access to Art Colleges (AA2A) at UCLAN, which has enabled me to spend more time developing the prints.
The project received support in-kind from MBP, a small local charity, of individuals and organisations concerned with Morecambe Bay, which runs community projects, including Beach Care litter collection. www.morecambebay.org.uk
