When people tell Williams that they also find her colour-coded grids of plastic trash strangely beautiful, or consider them works of art, she balks. “The collages aren’t meant to be beautiful,” she says. “They’re not art. The emotions I feel when on a wild, windswept beach at dawn or dusk might be excitement, anticipation, but not at the plastic. What you’re looking at in those montages is our history, but also my bewilderment, frustration, dismay.” At first, Williams says, the Lego collecting was “a bit of fun” on summer holidays, something she forgot about once her children started secondary school. Then, about 10 years ago, she moved to Newquay. “And I went down to Perranporth beach and there was the Lego, still coming in.” It just doesn’t go away,” she says. “It’s also important to remember that, of all the plastic that enters the ocean, 70% sinks to the bottom. We only see what floats ashore. How many billions of items from cargo spills are lying on the seabed? What does the bottom of the ocean look like?” The collages aren’t meant to be beautiful. They are our history, but also my bewilderment, frustration, dismay According to reports, Queen Elizabeth II banned the board game Monopoly from the royal palace grounds, preventing, Archie, and George from playing. According to Prince Andrew, things get so competitive that the family becomes vicious. Advance to St Mellion Golf Club, Tolgus Mill or St Michael's Mount - will you owe rent or reap the rewards?
Some of the items in these grids – cowboys and submarines from Kellogg’s cereals, a Talon jet car – are children’s toys from the 1950s and early 60s. Williams recently found a Hax strawberry-shaped syrup bottle that, according to the Museum of Design in Plastics, might be 70 years old. Monopoly is a game that has long been popular around the world, but the Royal Family does not allow it in its households. Monopoly is strictly prohibited in the royal household, according to a recent video, due to its potential for violence. We imagine heated arguments over getting three hotels on Park Place and Boardwalk, or Prince Charles’ look as Princess Beatrice lands on his property when he loses his mind. According to the Royal Rule Book video, the family enjoys playing games such as charades and cards. The royals can enjoy a nice, relaxed evening without worrying about getting into arguments if they participate in games that are kept to a minimum. Monopoly was banned from the royal household because it served no purpose in the royal household. It is critical that the Royal Family have quality time together as a family because they face a difficult schedule and must unwind peacefully at the same time. Monopoly is a fantastic game, but if you want a peaceful evening, it isn’t the best option. Queen Elizabeth Ii Bans Monopoly From Royal Family Each of these items has a history that involved a company, a designer, factory staff.’ Photograph: Tracey Williams Initially mapping the spills with a fellow beachcomber, Williams then teamed up with oceanographers and universities to help research the weathering and persistence of plastic in the marine environments. She also started to catalogue her finds, which she calls “artefacts of the Anthropocene”, arranged into colour-coded grids that bear a striking resemblance to the drawers of peculiar ethnographic objects in Oxford’s Pitt Rivers Museum, pieces of disposable history arranged with a scientific reverence; a taxonomy of plastic.

The Lego had come from a spill on 13 February 1997, when a cargo ship called the Tokio Express was hit by a freak wave off the coast of Cornwall, spilling 62 containers into the sea, including one filled with nearly 5m pieces of Lego, bound for New York. We only see what floats ashore. How many billions of items from cargo spills are lying on the seabed? Most people have no idea that their old possessions are washing up on the beach.’ Photograph: Tracey Williams
