Craig McIntosh

"McIntosh combs his local stretch of sand, making jewellery from what he finds. Sometimes the intervention is minimal; at other times the found objects are radically altered in their transformation from beachcomber loot to jewellery. But the difference lies in what McIntosh finds, and chooses to collect, for these necklaces don't celebrate paua and driftwood, but plastic and drifting trash." (Damian Skinner, 2004)
