I took some pictures of ‘hard waste’ – the piles of stuff left on the nature strip to get picked up by the local council. I tried to remember what was in the piles before I looked at the photographs. I  remembered a bicycle, a metal and plastic ‘hospital’ chair, a television, mosquito screens, lots of wood and those black plastic planters that you always see on the side of the road. I didn’t really analyse the piles, before I took the pictures. Maybe bicycles are a most distinctive thing and that is why I remembered the bicycle.
