To continue with the "plastic" project, I brought in my ever-growing ball of strips of plastic bags, photos of it in progress, and some heat-sealed "pillows" filled with shredded plastic.
The pillows didn't really fit on the engulfing wave of plastic -
but they're lovely on their own. Less is more here. The middle one is filled with cellophane rather than plastic - it makes a crinkly noise, adding another (invisible) dimension. The edges are sealed with a quick swipe of a moderate iron, between sheets of baking parchment.
The wave worked a bit better with the photos of the sea of plastic bags. But it's not a finished project, just another bit of "research" along the way.
On to the real thing - 
And the finished project - taking a line for a walk - one person unwinds the ball, leaving a length of string on the ground; another person walks behind, rewinding it. 
The final roundup - 
Rod showed us slide shows of his own work and talked about his experience of how the art world works, and of the work of David Shrigley (check out his animations).
