"Shop till you Drop".

By Tim Pugh 2017
The temporary installation was created at South Beach near Whitehaven in West Cumbria in October 2017. A run away shopping trolley embedded in the sand gave the idea to create a temporary installation on the beach.The supermarket trolley looked even more out of its traditional context when piled high with scooped up shingle.Instead of being loaded up with foodstuffs and white goods.Seemingly worthless beach products occupy its space as a reaction against consumerism and profit margins .and is firmly rooted in the sand.Already immobile and rusting ,the trolley is redundant in its new environment,awaiting its watery tideline fate.
