Strata

Watercolour and Collage 29.7 x 21cm
Watched the Chasers excellent TV show on the War on Waste and was reminded that plastic doesn't break down.
So here are my imaginings of an archeological dig with layers of plastics.
I realise that this is probably a very didactic piece of work.
Actually, the plastic came as an afterthought.  Initially I was thinking about sediments and layers which occur with everything: language, culture, as we build from one thing/thought to another.
In adding the plastic I have narrowed the connotations.
