The 'Tent' fabric was plastic, made by fusing mostly translucent food packaging within sheets of clear plastic wrappings. A 'reef' was made from paper pulp (business envelopes). The 'Tent' contained plastic flotsam and jetsam salvaged from a Scottish beach, fishing boat ropes being stitched onto the inside. Viewers were invited to enter and experience the coloured light filtering through, the muffled sounds of the surroundings, the very distinctive smell (!) and then write their comments on the outside of the tent. The responses varied from 'wishing they were there on the beach' to horror at the state of our oceans.
