A series of self-made, self-styled ‘fascinating’ objects created by covering found articles in hazard tape
I was inspired by an original series of work where I started to photographically document instances of hazard tape usage that I saw out in the world.

I was drawn to how people evidently feel unrestrained when applying hazard tape, perhaps because it essentially exists to keep us safe, people feel empowered to use it with gay abandon?
Whatever the reason, I wanted to join in on the fun so I began making my own ‘hazardous objects’ and started to deposit them in public places as impermanent artworks.

The original and, perhaps, the best. Certainly the fruitiest.

Subverting the Bavarian bread-based icon.
HAZARDiefcase
My personal favourite, a found briefcase covered.

Just liked the feel of this one.

Obvious one to do, really.
HAZARDony
Difficult shape to cover, but looked quite nice.

More animal theming. this time a choice influenced by Jeff Koons.

A somewhat self-conscious attempt, but worth doing nonetheless.
