Holiday Inn Express, Taunton. Car park shrubbery.
The shrubs are essentially a form of topiary, fashioned into great sofas which envelope and accommodate the cars that doze in the bays. This swathe of snipped green upholstery has a rounded almost Rubenesque form and also seems to form part of a heart shape, out which springs the tree, which also seems to pierce it. We all pass it without a thought letting its smooth curved edges escort us blindly to the exit.

Skip contents and shrubs, Holiday Inn Express, Taunton
The discarded bedspreads etc. peep over the bank of tailored shrubs in the car park of the Holiday Inn. Parts of the skip and part of a car roof can be seen. In this image, there is, perhaps, a minimalist appeal as without the explanation, it might take a while to work out what exactly lies behind the undulating lines of shrubs.

Holiday Inn Express,Taunton: skip of chuckouts.
The skip of discarded items from the Holiday Inn look like chairs and curtains, etc. On the outskirts of the town, this hotel is visited mainly by visitors in their own cars or by taxi, many of them members of organisations who are attending meetings. Consequently, the skip is probably safe from the attentions of the recyclers who would descend on it if it were more accessible to the general population. It is safe, too, from the tippers and waste droppers who seem to be generated automatically by the presence of a skip with some room in it.
