British Green Art Designer Creates life-Sized ‘Family’ from Waste Plastic Bottles
Sarah Turner has been busy the past 2 months hand making a life-sized family made from waste plastic bottles for Light Night Nottingham.
The event was a fantastic success with Sarah’s Plastic Bottle Family a main feature. The bottle parent, bottle children and bottle dog shone brightly on the streets near Nottingham Castle.
Her inspiration for the Bottle Family came from Light Night itself in 2011.
‘I noticed that Light Night was such a family event with many parents out with their kids, so I thought why not make a family as a light installation!’
Sarah normally makes lighting from waste plastic drinks bottles. So for her installation she decided to use some of the same techniques used in her lighting designs but on a much larger scale to create these stunning sculptures.
All the plastic bottles used in the sculptures were collected locally from cafes and households. Each ‘bottle person’ was made using different techniques and were built in different ways to give them character.
