An artist who created 2,500 pieces from recycled pieces of glass and left them around the country for people to find is having her work exhibited in London.

Hannah Gibson used everything from rum bottles to car windscreens to create her colourful robot figures, placing them across Surrey, London and a host of other locations.

Attached to the sculptures was a note, asking for anyone who found one to look after it and keep it safe.

Gibson's Recycling Narratives: Whispering Sweet Nothings is currently being exhibited in its entirety for the first time at the Museum of Brands, Notting Hill.

Ms Gibson said: "Exhibiting at the Museum of Brands is an absolute joy and an incredible honour."

The exhibition, Glass Renewed, is designed to showcase contemporary artworks and historic glass to explore the materiality and sustainability of glass, curators said.

It is on show until 17 August.
