Changing the tune: Serbian artist turns weapons into instruments
British artist Katrina Cobain, 24, poses for photographs with some of her collection of plastic bags from which she intends to start The Plastic Bag Museum in Glasgow on October 28, 2020. - Katrina Cobain unwraps a parcel and removes its precious contents, slowly and delicately as if she were handling an ancient scroll of papyrus. But the items she places on the table of a makeshift studio in an old tobacco pipe factory in the east end of Glasgow are rather more mundane -- plastic carrier bags. For Cobain, 24, every plastic bag tells a story of the modern age and so, two years ago, she became a collector and plans to start a museum.
