"Toxic Tale".

By  Tim Pugh 2016
The mixed media temporary installation was created at St Bees in West Cumbria .I beachcombed a piece of plastic sheeting and embossed a warning logo from a bleach bottle onto the surface using paint marker pen and acrylic paint and a day later wrapped the sheet around a beach groyne.By showing the large logo,I wanted to draw attention to the fact that the warning labels on bleach bottles are too small for most consumers to notice and to highlight the damaging consequences to marine environments with the use of chlorine in the product.
