人与自然——环境保护
废品打造的"动物王国"
Josh is an artist from London. Since childhood, he has been in love with wildlife. "I have travelled through Asia, South America and Africa. During these travels, I was lucky enough to spend many wonderful moments with wild animals," he said. "However, I also saw the huge amounts of all kinds of waste on my way. It was harmful to the natural environment. As a result, wild animals might lose their homes."
These travels gave Josh the idea of creating some works about the animals he had seen in the wild. He hoped his works could make people realize the importance of protecting wild animals.
Josh began to use recycled materials to bring sculptures of animals to life, like clothing from second-hand shops or wood from old furniture. Now he uses a more common material for his works—waste cardboard(硬纸板). Though it is difficult to work with just cardboard, Josh makes the most out of the material. He makes it into different shapes and textures(纹理) to create "fur" for animal sculptures. Some of his works may need several months to complete.
"I have always tried to make my artworks eco-friendly," said Josh. While he is making sculptures, he wants to make sure that he creates zero waste and that they will not harm the planet. He will give away some of the money from the sales of his sculptures to public organizations for protecting wildlife.
1. Why does Josh make sculptures of wild animals?
