Sean E Avery creates all animal sculptures using recycled materials like old CDs, computer hard drives, and so on. He blends many different man made materials together to make them appear strangely organic, with a distinct sense of movement. The nature of his sculpture practice ensures that each piece will be completely unique. He only uses recycled materials to create all sculptures, which classifies his work as “Sustainable Art”.

Three new sculptures by Jason deCaires Taylor were added to MUSA (Museo Subacuático de Arte) in Mexico.

Time Bomb depicts a collection of bombs and mines designed to support marine life whilst symbolizing the critical future of our reef systems and the countdown of time we have to reverse the increasing worldwide decline. The works also portray the irony of weapons of destruction being used to support and nurture life. The various strata and textures of the constructions are designed to provide habitat space and protected areas for crustaceans and marine species.

Rhine Mosel Whirlpool was created for the Koblenz garden Festival 2011, and commissioned through the Heike Strellow Gallery, Frankfurt. It sits up on the cliff by the fortress above where the Mosel flows into the Rhine. The Cliff itself is formed from the same stone which we obtained from a local tile and slate works. The presence of slate in the earth gives the local and famous wines a distinctive flavour, the meeting of two rivers gives birth to whirlpools in the water.

Heart of Reeds here in Chris’s hometown of Lewes, was designed to increase the biodiversity of a small nature reserve on the edge of town in a wetland that used to be a railway marshalling yard. The design is taken from the the movement of blood in the heart known as the Cardiac Twist. By using islands and water, the borderlines between the two are increased therefore increasing habitat for small creatures. Water levels can also be adjusted via various sluice gates. The work has proved popular to both people and wildlife and continues to grow and thrive and change throughout the seasons.

Carbon Sink was commissioned by the University of Wyoming in Laramie. The idea for the work came when an ecologist at the University remarked to me that no one seems to make the connection between all the coal being dug up and shipped out of the state and the dying forests in the Rockies. Warmer winters caused by man-induced climate change, through burning of fossil fuels means that the pine beetle are no longer killed off in prolonged cold winters and so the Lodgepole pine are dying from Mexico to Canada.
