For most a skip is a large trash receptacle designed to be hoisted and emptied into a truck. However for Oliver Bishop young, a skip is a large trash receptacle designed to be used for ping pong, a sunday swim or maybe even a sneaky skate.
I love how the simplicity and change of context has made this idea so strong. it also provides insight into a way of thinking which could and will inspire other sustainable conversations.

I love using unusual materials or media in an unconventional context. It’s even more important with everything these days having such a sustainable focus.
