I love how artists and crafters are so good at taking other peoples waste and turning it into something wonderful and clever. I reckon plastic bag upcycling is the best example. There are so many amazing things that can be done with a plastic bag other than chucking it in a landfill.
The most obvious is turning plastic bags into even better plastic bags and the proliferation of fused and knitted/crocheted grocery bags out there is very heartening. A friend of mine has even made an entire lace curtain out of crocheted plastic.
But this tops all of that.
These plastic bag animals are tied to subway grates in New York. When the train goes underneath they act just like Marilyn’s skirt.
That’s clever street art. The world needs more of it.
