Suspension Bridge can sculpture
Bristol’s famous Clifton Suspension Bridge has been recreated in Coke cans by sculptor Stuart Murdoch who has produced this intriguing artwork to mark the beginning of Recycle Week (2 - 8 June 2008).
Figures from the Recycle Now campaign reveal that if everyone in the South West recycled just one more aluminium can each week, we’d save 32,291 tonnes of CO2 a year – that’s the same as taking 10,219 cars off the road for a year.
Artist Stuart Murdoch said, "I wanted The Bridge to combine a graphic quality with surreal humour to highlight the madness of NOT recycling. I hope that people will enjoy this eccentric, engineered version of junk modelling and then take a second look at anything they throw away. Landfill is not the place for drinks cans."
