> LAUGHTER SHELLS 

A series of pink relief sculptures cast using discarded nos canisters collected from the streets on route to my studio in 2022-23. A light hearted future fossil in cake icing pink - a little hint to the intended confectionery application of the shrapnel canisters that litter the streets...

A typical treasure trove i'd find on route to my studio ​

As of 8 November 2023, Nitrous oxide is now a Class C drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, making possession and sale for recreational purposes a criminal offence. 

Nitrous oxide. NOS is a colourless gas that's recreationally popular as laughing gas and inhaled using a balloon. Sold in small metal canisters often obtained from whipped-cream chargers, sometimes called 'whippets', the single-use steel cartridges contain 8g of highly pressurised nitrous oxide gas. It's use soared during the pandemic, becoming one of the most-abused substances, especially by 16 to 24-year-olds.
