Materials

Materials obviously need to be considered when making a sculpture of any kind, for structural reasons in relation to weight and texture but also for sustainability. We want to design a public sculpture that is not just structurally suitable but also recycled, we want to use recycled materials to create our sculpture. We have chosen to do so because the use of recycled materials will cause less impact on the environment then other man made materials. By using these materials we are reducing our impact on the environment which links into the setting of the sculpture which is a very natural setting with plants and wildlife and therefore reflects this idea of nature and organic forms. Which will also be reflected in the nature and form of the sculpture in relation to shape and build.
