When I was looking at some eco artists I found a work done by the Eden Project near St Austell, Cornwall, UK. I haven’t been able to find a lot of information about it, but I thought the work was really interesting. The work is a polar bear sculpted from recycled plastic bags.
If you know anything about this work please let me know.

Pastic Bag Garden By Luzinterruptus
Art Group Luzinterruptus created an installation called “A Cloud of Bags Visit the Prado” outside The Prado Museum for 4 hours.They used 80 plastic bags each inflated by the wind were every single plastic bag had a light inside. This art intervention speaks to the problem of sustainability be illuminating the issue through art. These little bags of light in my opinion act as a metaphor for an idea described as a light bulbs shining; these illuminated bags are the light bulb ideas of recycling, that we need to find every way possible to recycle our material.
LIGHT UP YOUR LIFE, RECYCLE

In many of my posts I have talked about recycling your plastic material; mostly talking about recycling your water bottles. I have been focusing on artists lately and have found an artists named Aurora Robson who creates sculptures out of plastic.
By Aurora Robson
Robson focuses on recycling so much that she actually welcomes people to send her “junk” material in the mail. She is essentially creating a recycling process of her own. She twists, cuts, reforms these pieces of plastic into abstract forms, lit by solar-powered LED lights to create these illuminated organic forms. Her works remind me of David Chihuly’s glass sculptures in its organic nature.
Here are some of her works:
This video is an interview with Aurora Robson describing her thoughts and practices of her art. Enjoy!
