Plarchie by Deadly Knitshade is one of the most amusingly ambitious pieces of recycled art that I've ever seen, but that is a very good thing.
At just over 8 meters long, Plarchie by Deadly Knitshade was knitted from orange plastic garbage bags in a remarkable display of upcycled ingenuity. These pictures feature the incredible creation in various poses around London's Natural History museum. In the true spirit of Plarchie's natural inspirations, he even gets up close and personal with Charles Darwin.
