Using found rubber items, retrieved from High Town Road in Luton, I produced a series of 70-100 compositions. They were executed from a shop space on High Town Road, where I was part of an artists' residency, courtesy of the Luton Culture initiative "As You Change So Do I", summer 2016.

Current Worry Project
In his collaboration with David Borrington, on their "Current Worry" project, Stephen Whiting has worked with etchings, lino-cuts and lithoprint.
This project is created at Borrington's "Dekkle Print Studios" in Baldock, and incorporates printed image and spoken text.
Their work is a collaboration, with both artists interpreting chosen subjects in their own way. Borrington works from a predominantly political viewpoint, while Whiting covers a more social aspect to their selected topics, which can be as broad as Cat Allergy, Tea-Drinking Etiquette, and Unemployment.
Whiting utilises the humouristic approach that he sometimes imbues in his general work, and the two artists work towards a box-set scenario for their work, with subsequent exhibitions.
