Eco Artists. Artists using recycled materials
AURORA ROBSON - Sculptures using cut up plastic bottles and other discarded plastic.
MIWA KOIZUMI - uses a combination of cutting and heating plastic bottles to create stunning aquatic creatures.
Both artists who similar techniques within their work, the similarities between the two artists is that, they're Eco artists, they use recycled materials, which is plastic, they cut up to make different forms in they' re work.
The difference about Aurora and Miwa is that, Aurora makes sculptures and Miwa makes aquatic creatures, also she heats up the plastic bottles and Aurora only cuts them.
I like how Aurora makes the sculptures by cutting old plastic, and i like how Miwa uses the technique of heating up, the plastic starts to melt and it makes various forms which i like the idea.
JILL TOWNSLEY
Spoon and Glove Art
April 12, 2008
The first picture, of Jill Townsley's work, is a Rubber glove dress.
The second and third picture, its Jill Townsley’s piece “Spoons” looks incredible, constructed from over 9,000 plastic spoons and over 3,000 rubber bands and Susi Macmurry’s “A Mixture of Frailties” and is actually made from latex wash gloves, calico and tailor’s dummy.
I think its incredible how he made a dress of that size, all made out of Rubber gloves, it seems impossible, but here's the work, and its amazing, the quantity of gloves he used, and how the artist managed to put all the rubber gloves together.
The second art work, is really clever too, a triangle made out of plastic spoons, all attached by the rubber bands, the spoons are all standing, which is quite hard to manage it, whats holding it, is only the bands.
These were such two grate and creative ideas, using simple materials, but the imagination was so big that, the artist managed to do both pieces. It proves, that we can use anything to make a piece of art, the only fundamental thing that we need to put those together, is our imagination.

Works of Anthony Gormley
2008 - The piece is sited at the close, Jesus College, Cambridge.
Sculptures made out of metal, use of cast iron and there's many of those man's around the college, at all passages and courts and on the roofs of the College.
The sculptures look quite wierd, because they're all layered up together, and i wonder why the sculptures are man's and not women's for example, but it may represent, all the students at the Jesus College. The only think i dont like about these, is that they look quite old, but this look is made by the "iron cast" metal.
Well , the sculptures were made in 2008, they're not that old, but perhaps the artist wanted these to look old, to represent the historical college too.
Here's the second sculpture made by Anthony, the sculpture is called " The Angel of the North, Gateshead", 1998.
The work is made of corten steel, weighs 200 tonnes and has 500 tonnes of concrete foundations. The mound near the A1 motorway which was the designated site of the sculpture was made after the closure of the Lower Tyne Colliery, out of the destroyed remains of the pithead baths. It is a tumulus marking the end of the era of coal mining in Britain.
The ANGEL resists our post-industrial amnesia and bears witness to the hundreds and thousands of colliery workers who had spent the last three hundred years mining coal beneath the surface.
My favorite sculpture is definitely "The Angel" because, i think it relates more to the place, where is sited, and it is such a beautiful and big art work, well visible, loads of effort, but the best work between the two.
Maggi Hambling
"A conversation with the Sea"- Aldeburgh
A sculpture that is just in the right site, at a beach, a Natural Form design."A Conversation with Maggi Hambling" is an personal exploration by the artist of her work, themes within and influences behind it, whilst contextualising her proposed piece for St Dunstan's Church.
I like how the sculpture is braking apart, but then different parts of the the shell fill the broken places, they're not the correct bits, but thats what makes the art piece interesting, it looks like an uncompleted puzzle.
Henry Moore
The first image of Moore's art work, is called "Mystery of the Stolen Moore saved".
One of the most audacious British art thefts, the disappearance of a two-tonne Henry Moore sculpture worth £3m, has been solved by police, who believe that the internationally revered Reclining Figure sculpture was melted down and sold for no more than £1,500.
The second sculpture is Moore's other art work, but couldn't find the right information, for it.
Between the two pieces, my favorite one is the second one, not because i like the place, but because i like how dynamic it is. Loads of different shapes crossings, against each other, but different designs.
I don't think the first Sculpture, is the right art work to be placed in a park like that, i think the sculpture is way more classic.
"Mullet Run Fountain"
Mullet Run, a water fountain and art sculpture, designed and fabricated by Ameri'ca Jones Gallaspy is in Museum Plaza Park. The fountain consists of water gushing amid 30 bronze mullets on rods. The base is a curbed bronze bowl lined with river pebbles.
The Fountain was, commissioned in 2008 by the committee on Public Art.
At night time, it shows up more than two dozen bronze fish, which move when the Fountain is on.
A fountain idea that i really liked because , all these little sculptures around it, represent fish, and at night time people can watch it moving around, looking like gold fish, i think its a simple idea, but very interesting.
Frozen Assets
A frozen fountain of plastic water bottles created by a University of Kansas sculpture graduate has been named one of the best public artworks in the United States and Canada.
Americans for the Arts, a leading nonprofit organization that advocates for the arts, cited “Frozen Assets,” created by Matthew Farley, as one of 40 of the year’s best public artworks in its 2010 Public Art Year in Review project. It is the only national award that specifically recognizes public art projects.
Such a creative idea, from the student, the frozen fountain, is obviously representing the University, had to be well thought.
Anish Kapoor
Cloud Gate
The "Cloud Gate", a public Sculpture by Anish Kapoor. The Sculpture is placed at the AT&T Plaza at Millennium Park within the Loop community area of Chicago, Illinois, United States.
Done in February 2004, and made of Stainless Steel.
Both projects, were big projects, obviously that the first one, was obviously a important project, it was a massive project and it is representing London Olympics. This artist is obviously very famous, and good at the area, to be selected to do something like this.
The "cloud gate" is also a big investment, it is representing the Millennium Park, it reflects back out to the world.
