The Bristol Whales
The Bristol Whales' project shows Cod Steaks ability to conceive beautiful, emotive and robust works of art that the public can interact and engage with. Using the correct materials was of paramount importance.
Made from willow harvested locally in Somerset, the sculpture depicts two life-size whales swimming through an ‘ocean’ of 70,000 plastic bottles, up-cycled from the Bath half marathon and Bristol 10k. Commissioned by Bristol Green Capital, The Whales were created to draw attention to the ever-growing issue of plastic pollution in the world's oceans.
