In this episode, sculptor Tom Waugh talks about how he got the idea for sculpting in stone everyday objects such as crumpled cardboard boxes, takeaway coffee lids, jerry cans and wheelie bins, how these serve as both amusing but also carry an environmental message, the techniques he uses to create the hyperreal effect, how some are offended by his works and how he chooses the type of stone to suit the subject.
