'Beachgoers are usually more concerned with catching waves ’n’ rays than considering the implications, or the aesthetics, of the ubiquitous debris scattered about the sand. But poised against blue-sky backdrops, beach trash becomes eerily beautiful in these photographs by Andy Hughes. Brief, emotional essays by surfers, activists, and a marine ecologist, among others, bemoan the environmental toll taken by these artifacts of our commercial culture.'

'Photographer and surfer Andy hughes has built up a substantial body of work recording the man -made detritus that dots the beaches where he surfs. The non-perishable-and mainly plastic- flotsam and jetsam has been photographed close up and personal in a way that transforms the object into ominous megaliths and that dominate theory few square inches of sand and shingle.
