Skip artist's work is far from rubbish

200x190.jpg
Some people think all modern art should be thrown in the skip. But one artist has created a contemporary collection using the large metal containers.

Oliver Bishop-Young has turned the unsightly yellow boxes into urban escapes including a skateboard park, a living room, a park and even a swimming pool.

The 22-year-old says the converted skips can offer people some space in urban London, where they wouldn't expect to find it.

Oliver also hopes his works will encourage people to recycle old furniture and clothes.

Lets hope they don't get so 'encouraged' they start stealing empty skips to create their own back garden swimming pools.
