Recycled Plastic Bag Bombing
www.artyarngaiaproject.blogspot.com
ArtYarn are performing a series of interventions in Liverpool city centre, ‘tagging’ street furniture with pieces of knitting made from recycled plastic carrier bags. They have embarked on a series of one day visits to the streets of Liverpool to collect discarded plastic carrier bags from public spaces and inner city wasteland areas. Each bag found and retrieved from a site has been documented and mapped to draw awareness of littering of this particular material on the streets of Liverpool.
The found bags have been cleaned and shredded to form a recycled yarn for which new art works will be made by hand knitting. By referring back to the mapping document created on retrieval of the found plastic carrier bags, ArtYarn will replace the bags, now in a knitted art form, into the environments they were found which have the highest volume of plastic bag littering and waste.
