Polar bear loose in London
As part of London Sustainability Weeks 2007, AIR member Ana Antonio Gill has created a life-size polar bear made entirely from recycled materials for the ‘Love London Recycled Sculpture Show’, Sun and Doves pub, Camberwell, London.
Constructed of recycled steel rods, wire netting and newspaper and magazine headlines about global warming from abandoned newspapers, the work highlights the plight of polar bears – and the planet – as a result of climate change.
“Polar Bear is an expression of today’s world with its magnificence and beauty as well as its problems and its disputes – it represents the life-cycle of all living organisms that are born, grow, change, evolve, die and are in constant flux.
Polar Bear is at Sun and Doves until 15 October. See http://lovelondon.london21.org
