Bottle Grid, 2012

Bottle Grid is from the series Môr Plastig (plastic sea) which is a forensic photographic study of plastic objects that have washed up on the west coast of Wales, and more recently, further afield. Perry photographs the objects one to one, straight on to camera with flat, neutral light, capturing the effect of natural processes on the surfaces of industrially produced materials. In these images the objects become poignant symbols of the entanglement – both literal and metaphorical – of human consumption, waste and nature. Bottle Grid echoes the work of Bernd and Hilla Becher and other artists whose minimalist approach focuses on sculptural form and texture, which enables the viewer to fully contemplate the object and what it represents.
