Beach Submission to Things Organized Neatly.
Things Organized Neatly is a blog curated by Austin Radcliffe. The blog has been written about in New York Times Magazine and The Guardian (who wrote this: "Austin Radcliffe whose interest in right angles led him to curate a collection of reassuringly ordered images. Radcliffe denies having obsessive compulsive tendencies, but his site may please those who do.") The Twitter is pretty exciting too.I've been watching for a long time, and I was delighted when I was featured last year, with my Apple circle installation: 'Sense'. You can see it on the TON Tumblr.Time to submit some things I've created whilst in New Zealand. Items found at the beach, 1, 2 and 3. Made in collaboration with Eleanor Gannon EDIT:'other things we found at the beach' was featured December 2011. See it here.
