Artist Ian Thwaites spends his weekends combing the beaches of Western Australia in search of creative inspiration.
The coastline in his local Margaret River is renowned for its stunning beaches – masses of tourists flock there each year seeking a slice of the untouched seaside.
But he’s not there for the famous, pristine coastline, rather for the washed-up rubbish that he collects on his walks.
"I use materials that I find in the environment… we use driftwood, get plastic from the beach and do all sorts of arty, constructive works out of those materials."
"Really it's value adding to something, whether it be a fallen tree, a piece of driftwood, or some plastic off the beach."
