Installation
Installation art refers to 3 dimensional art that is site-specific. Often, photography is used to reproduce and represent the installations.
Here, pieces of beach plastic are positioned in a harmonious formation and then photographed.

Floating Blackout – Louise Wauters & Nina Clayton, 2018 |
Dozens of plastic fishing net floats collected from the beaches of Koh Seh in Cambodia are tied together to create a wall of sorts. Mixing art and functionality to upcycle polluting plastic litter, and stir up some behaviour change in the observer. Can be seen Marine Conservation Cambodia.

Attack of the Sporks – Nina Clayton 2018
|
This photo series was made by erecting in the sand a collection of spoons and forks found on the beach. The sheer volume of similar objects, along with the different angles of photography, create an effect of invasion and overwhelm.

Plastic Stupa – Nina Clayton, 2018
|
This hanging sculpture is made of strung up plastic lids of different sizes and colours. The resulting shape reminds of the iconic stupas found in Buddhist countries, their purpose similar to gravestones.

Combs – Nina Clayton, 2018
Installation photography of comb collection. The repetition of shapes is striking, each comb is similar but has different teeth missing or stains. The viewer may question the story of each comb: who did they belong to and why did they end up here?
