REUSE, REDUCE, RECYCLE² 2004 (3m x 2m x 1m) fibreglass cow, steel, polycarbonate, Vinyl lettering, fibreglass, litter. Commissioned by GM Waste for Manchester Cow Parade.
Working with Yr 9 pupils to raise awareness of litter pollution and recycling. The pupils litter picked within their school grounds, Newhall
Green High School, 1 hour a day, for 8 days. The collected litter was placed in the Polycarbonate box, forming strata layers relating to time to decay, 80-100 years, up to 500 years, indefinite period. This information was written on the box. On the opposite side of the box was the slogan "Eight hours of litter picking and recycling waste makes a cowlossal difference".
The Cow "grazes" on top of the box, eating drink cans. Panels cut into the
cow reveal four stomachs, each depicting stages of the aluminium recycle
loop. Under the udders are 4 new, unbranded cans.
