Tess Wilmot and Amanda used their artistic skills to create a sculpture made from rubbish collected from the River Erme. The materials were collected by volunteers of the Ivybridge Environmental Action and PL:21 Transition Initiative. They included bikes, scooters, masks, road signs and even a bass guitar. The sculpture is intended as a reminder that we live in a place of great beauty and unfortunately some people treat it as a dumping ground.
The sculpture is on view at the Edge Sculpture Exhibition as part of the Devon Open Studios. The PL:21 transition is for the postcodes of PL21 including villages Ermington, Cornwood, Harford and Ugborough. The aim is to support local people to become more resilient and localised to cope with the uncertainties of climate change.
