The challenge asks us to tempt our readers to click through by showing a peek of something.
Did it work? The detail shows a section of the elongated, wanna-be space-traveller that was part of Tony Cragg’s recent exhibition at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
The elastic-looking gentleman with a large, red heart is one of a series of artworks created from recycled plastic. It’s intriguing to recognise everyday objects (part of a coat hanger, a bottle, a disposable lighter); the deft use of colour is fascinating; and it’s shocking to contemplate the level of plastic waste.
I loved how you only needed to move the camera a few inches to create a different effect, by capitalising on the swirl. I wonder how many human activities and pastimes are represented by the waste plastic here?

So snappy and nice.
The colours and shapes are well chosen and arranged.
This is great!! Thank you.
Glad you liked it.
It worked and I love how you showed the peek and then the whole. Nicely done!

Thanks, Janet.
It made me peek, and I’m glad I did. I am intrigued by the seemingly straight edges. Fascinating, thank you.
This puts me in mind of a mural created by Tilda Shalof, a nurse who works at a Toronto General Hospital. It is created entirely from the plastic bits and pieces of normally discarded medical paraphernalia.

I like it!
That’s great. Note to self: get on over to YSP again soon. It’s been too long!
I imagine there is always something new to see as well as familiar things. We went twice this year because my sweetheart lost something there and we had to retrieve it, but I had never been before.
Gosh, I hope you found it. Needle in a haystack doesn’t quite seem to cover it. But YSP is always worth a visit, whatever the excuse.
Luckily he lost it in the shop and they had it safely for him. Otherwise, you’re right, we’d have had next to no chance of retracing our steps.
Great choice:)
Thank you.
I’m beginning to regret that I didn’t take the time to go into the indoor exhibition of his work now. Plastic is another of our ‘brilliant’ ideas that is having a huge impact on our planet.
The trouble is we tend to push an idea to the limits.
Sobering. But what an intriguing way to make a point! Thanks for showing us.
If we could each see our lifetime use of plastic, piled up somewhere, it would be chastening.
Wow it looks amazing.
Glad you liked it. 🙂
So cool Susan. There’s no way one could guess at the entire piece from the segments. Great choice for the week.
Thanks, Tina.
Here is a creative solution to the ongoing problem of plastic waste. We need great many more solutions!
Very true.
Brilliant, Susan.
I’m glad you like it.
