Lynne Adams has found a solution to the ugly issue of waste, especially plastic bottles. With her PET bottle flower concept, children are being prompted to look at everyday waste with a creative eye. This is an exciting way for children to reconsider the environmental message: reuse, reduce and recycle. The workshops, held at the Currumbin Primary School, were an opportunity for both learning and fun; not only for the children, but for teachers and volunteers as well. The workshops were designed to stimulate visual awareness and provide a variety of experiences.
With the sculpture installed at the Swell Sculpture Festival, the children will stand with their families and share their experience of participation. They will talk of their sense of achievement and involvement in promoting environmental responsibility. Importantly, they will have ownership of the part they played in creating a major sculpture at Swell.
