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.

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!
