These elements were originally shot for use in another project, however, the endlessly varying shapes meant I couldn't resist combining them to create something interwoven and complex... - George McLeod
'Detritus' series was born from the twin frustrations of lockdown halting all planned projects, yet litter still somehow being dropped in abundance on my street.
With no idea of the final output, or indeed the hygiene implications, I started to collect, scan, and record what I found. When I realised these colourful misshapen objects could be turned into something beautiful, the frustrations left me and I began looking for other sources of Detritus.
These collages gave me purpose during the pandemic and allowed me to grow something beautiful from a place of frustration. My aim is to simply give viewers of the work a fleeting moment of calm.
Unable to shoot anything, I've been making collections of things I find on the ground and scanning them to create composite images of otherwise ignored or discarded objects." - George McLeod
