The sculpture was made about two years ago but has been hidden away in a box. It was exhibited on the Christmas tree as a structure that was meant to complement and fit with its surroundings. It is an extension of work that I started in 1969 when I made a series of sculptures out of either No 6 cigarette packets or Swan Vesta matchboxes which were then left on buses or park benches for anybody to find or take away. In the early 80's I extended the idea of sculpture that would be found as part of the environment by inserting small wooden structures into corners of telephone boxes. The structures were reminiscent of such things as swallow nests.
