Three recycled tennis player sculptures commissioned by Merton Borough Council and exhibited at the Wimbledon tennis tournament. They are made from household waste collected by the council's recycling scheme. The child sculpture was part-made in advance and completed on-site during a community event running alongside the tennis tournament.

Recycled sculpture. One of two large kinetic sculptures produced during 'Art of Waste', a Year of the Artist residency. A makeshift studio was set up in a shipping container at Freeman's Common Community Recycling Centre, and the sculptures were made from objects sourced from the household waste available at the site.
