Gannet and guillemot bin art for Sustaining North Berwick

Sustaining North Berwick wanted to solve the environmental problem of the bins overflowing and birds being damaged by eating rubbish, so they raised funds to instal six big belly bins around town. They asked six artists to create designs for them, all with different seabirds – I drew gannets and guillemots from the hat. All of our art work for the bins is on show in an exhibition at the Seabird Centre until October.
