Whoever thought that recycling was just a regular task had no idea that it can be transformed into recycled art and that is exactly what David Edgar is aiming to prove. By utilizing post-consumer plastics, Edgar creatively used discarded plastic pieces to make colorful fish sculptures.
Creatively dubbed 'Plastiquarium,' Edgar's works are not just reused plastics thrown together to make mini sculptures. Instead, David Edgar is able to connect with the audience in a strong underlying social theme, where post-consumer garbage can be manipulated to create amazing works of art.
