The Plastron Sculpture is symbolically constructed from discarded items and other metals, to signify the life that was once found in our river eco systems.
The turtle sculpture created by James Stewart, is a fun and playful artwork that stands 1.5 metres high, intended to symbolise a delicately balanced ecosystem.
The shell and base are made from Corten steel referencing technology, and the ‘flesh’ is formed in a more organic appearance using found items crafted by human tools representing our role in helping to cultivate and care for the environment and nature, encouraging the return and sustainability of amazing creatures such as turtles to their natural habitat.
