Keith created this sculpture from a collection of brightly coloured plastic objects that are typically thrown away. The plastic items, such as bottle tops, pen tops, and plastic spoons, are connected with hot glue to form a depiction of a mouse. This 3D piece appears to be an embodiment of the colourful drawings of Keith’s favourite theme of cartoon characters.

Keith said:
“Worked with objects. I definitely wouldn’t mind doing more stuff like this.”
