Improvising is fun, acting on an idea that suddenly occurs to you with almost no time for thought. Outside my studio is a gardening school, and as well as long thin beds for plants there is lots of garden equipment such as black plastic sheet, sheets of brown cardboard for mulching, mountains of rotting dung, and one day this stack of palettes. I'd not been able to use the empty studio at the end of our block, and I suddenly realised that there was a ready-made plinth outside my door. Out goes the cut-out sculpture, up on the plinth, and bingo! click and back indoors again.

Next day the palettes are made into a neat compost heap.
