Aurora Robson’s Ethereal Plastic Art Uses up to 20,000 Recycled Bottles

<a href="http://aurorarobson.com/landmine.html">Aurora Robson</a> has been making art out of junk for twenty years, but since the last time we <a href="http://inhabitat.com/eco-art-aurora-robson/">featured her work in 2009</a>, she seems to have undergone some kind of creative metamorphosis - each of her works is more intricate and amazing than the one preceding it. Diverting up to 20,000 <a href="http://inhabitat.com/africas-first-plastic-bottle-house-rises-in-nigeria/">plastic bottles</a> from the landfill with each installation, the Canadian-born artist turns what most people take for granted into these awe-inspiring, impossibly delicate works of art that both attract and repulse at the same time.

Aurora Robson diverts piles of rubbish from the waste stream each year

Her installations use anywhere from 30-20,000 plastic bottles in addition to other waste

Sometimes she incorporates LEDs into her work

Not only is she a talented artists, but she is also a dedicated environmentalist

At the moment Robson is hoping to team up with ocean and river cleanup teams so that she can help to remove plastic pollution from our waterways

Her work has grown in leaps and bounds and we can't wait to see what she pulls off next!
