Trolleys should only be used in supermarkets, yet they can be found all over Nottingham. They can be found half submerged in water or used as temporary transport for teenagers, or even stolen goods. But now the shopping trolley has found itself the centre of a website that's been voted the best "Weird and Wonderful" website in the country. Artist Adele Prince designed it. The website emerged as a consequence of an exhibition Adele was planning for the Angel Row Gallery, Nottingham. In the beginning She walked for 28 kilometres, starting at the train station, looking for abandoned trolleys. She found 15 trolleys in total around Nottingham. Adele tells us how the idea developed.

"When I told people about [the project] they would say "yeah I see trolleys everywhere" and friends would start texting pictures of trolleys – I thought I'm on to something here." Adele admits spotting trolleys has become a passion but she also sees the beauty in them. "They do look quite interesting when they're submerged in the water; straight away I found two really close together… which was lovely." From an art point of view (despite supermarket measures to curb thefts) Adele is intrigued as to how trolleys get from A to B.

"You have to be quite determined to get [trolleys] past those magnetic fields, you do see them not very far from the supermarket, so I think people take them so far and somebody takes them further, and they end up going on this journey." "It really fascinates me because you never really see people doing this… [Trolleys] just appear." But who are the biggest culprits? "In Nottingham I found a whole row of them and they'd been neatly stacked together next to the [student] halls of residence!" The future Check the progress of Adele's project... |
