TINNERS HOUNDS
My workshop is a derelict mine building,out on the Tinners Coast,near St,.Just.
Twenty years ago, Geevor mine closed,ending several thousand years of tin mining in the area.
The mines had quickly fallen into ruins, their shafts choked with debris & scrapped machinery.
A friend, working on the maintenance staff at Geevor ,watched a mechanical digger burying a pile of redundant miners boots , & gave me a shout,I drove over & filled my pickup with the discarded boots, not knowing what I might do with them.
This discarded footwear was to become THE HOUNDS OF GEEVOR

Talking Rubbish ?
I have been re-recycling junk most of my life,making things from the junk people throw away.
I am often asked why & how I work with this redundant debris?
