2. Michelle Greenwood Brown’s Mosaic group
"Love
Your Planet" is an exhibit on the sea front at Teignmouth, as part of
the TRAIL (Teignmouth Recycled Art In the Landscape) art exhibition Link
in 2015.
This dove of peace on the top of this sculpture had been created by adult students attending mosaic workshops led by Michelle Greenwood Brown. The group has been meeting in the Teignmouth Arts Action Group Link workshop
and have all worked together to produce this beautiful recycled
crockery and ceramic bird. The 'planet Earth' part of the mosaic was
made by Michelle for TRAIL 2014 from tile factory waste. The small fish
have also been made by members of the mosaic group.

Very pleased to have Susan Plover
join TRAIL this year! A talented young British artist from Leigh in
Lancashire! We always love to have new people join our event and this
piece sounds very thought provoking, Susan says of this piece:
Susan Plover – Sex on the Beach
The piece I
have created is a site specific installation made from !00% recycled
materials.It is titled,”Sex on the Beach,” in a darkly witty response to
it’s coastal location and form. The piece riffs upon the coctail of the
same name and is a full scale replica of a paper parasol often found in
holiday drinks. Obviously behind the visual pun of scale there are many
serious layers. The art historical significence of both Renoire’s and
Magritte’s umbrellas cannot be overlooked. More importantly the viewer
is presented with a fragile piece a deliberately useless device for
protection against the elements.
It is basically an umbrella unfit for purpose in these days of increasing GLOBAL WARMING !
A piece so
fragile that the elements will play a deliberate part in it’s evolution
as each day it decays possibly only to leave a skeletal form an echo .Is
it a reference to our deliberate ignorence of our changing climate as
we party untill dawn as storm clouds gather ?
Another more adult layer ,warming
to it’s more carnal theme ,held open by two coctail favours labelled
“His ,” and “Hers ,” the final gesture is a pearl neclace attached to
the main spike . In local parlance this denotes much more than it’s
seaside treasure !

Malcom Curley – Hiking on an Empty Stomach
Hiking on an Empty Stomach is the first in an anticipated series originally inspired by the bronze sculptures of French sculptor Bruno Catalano. My light-hearted work, however, is made entirely with recycled materials and is designed to raise a smile. I like to create shapes and forms which make the viewer speculate how they’ve been constructed, and which require imagination to fill in the details. So my hiker leads the way for my next phase of sculpture which will focus on characters that are synonymous with the Devon countryside and coast – farmers, fishermen, sailors and tourists included.www.quirkysculpt.wordpress.com

13. Starcross History
The brand new Starcross History group presents the iconic, Victorian, maritime folly, The Swan of the Exe.
Captain George Peacock commissioned Dixons of Exmouth to build his
luxurious white and gold yacht in the form of a swan. She was moored at
Starcross. She survived until the 1960s, but rises again to join
T.R.A.I.L. to protest plastic pollution of the planet. Today’s Swan is
a scrapped, plastic dinghy. Her plumage has been made from plastic
milk bottles. She pulls a gabion filled with some of the
billions of tons of plastic flotsam and jetsam which inexorably
accumulate in the deep ocean.

We were the first to set up at this years TRAIL on Teignmouth sea front, where there will sculptures made of recycled materials on show throughout the school summer holidays. My piece asks the observer to consider the dangers of sunburn. Having had the top of my ear removed to prevent skin cancer I learned that your chances of getting melanoma (skin cancer) double if you have 5 or more sunburns? With global warming we are all at risk. The two most common non-melanoma skin cancers (BCC & SCC) are directly linked to sun accumulation over many years, usually appearing on sun-exposed areas such as the face, ears, hands, etc. So put on your factor 50 every time you go out.
The sun eating my ear is made of recycled wood, piping and insulation foil left from our building project, plus sea washed china.

I am also part of the Pumps Pottery group who have made a real life size Angora goat from baler twine and the hawser from a trawler. It is situated nearby in Teignmouth.

TAAG – Snail
The snail leaves behind a slimy trail which lets us know it has been around and we leave mountains of landfill in our countryside, islands of rubbish floating in our oceans and deadly toxins in our atmosphere as our legacy. There is no contest as to which creature is the biggest polluter. In spite of many enlightened people shouting warnings about the pollution of our planet and global warming we are still moving at a snail’s pace to respond.

Peter Stride – Wave Breaker
WAVEBREAKER
My entry is a sculpture of an Aeolian
Harp. An Aeolian harp is played by the wind ,(subject to the wind
velocity), Teignmouth’s sea front is a windy environment , hopefully on
occasions my harp will harness the wind.
The harp sculpture is made from an
old pair of water ski’s ,yew branches from my yew tree prunings ,
plywood from a builders skip and a swivel axel from a trolley to allow
orientation to the wind.
The water ski’s have the manufactures name of “Wavebreaker” , which could equally apply to sound waves as to water waves. 21. Teignmouth 4th Brownies

23. Pumps Pottery
Our
pottery and mosaic group meets each week at Pumps Pottery in
Denbury, which also happens to be home to a small herd of Angora goats.
The twine used to fasten bales of straw for the animals bedding has been
meticulously saved for years, waiting to find a new purpose… Chatting
about these beautiful animals one day, we were saddened to learn that
the coarser hair from the older goats’ fleece has very little value and
keeping them has become a labour of love rather than a source of income.
Smallholders and small to medium scale farmers in general have great
difficulty making even a modest living from the land, and yet
they are the ones we can rely on most to farm in a soil-friendly and
sustainable way. If industry were able to utilise the fleece from the
older goats as blends to produce insulating materials for building, this
would prevent wastage and help sustain goat keeping as a viable farming
option.
ROPEY OLD GOAT is a small gesture of support for those farmers and growers who put the welfare of the land and their livestock first. The face has been sculpted in glazed earthenware, but is otherwise constructed almost entirely from recycled materials including wood and chicken wire salvaged from a skip and the allotment, used baler twine and discarded marine rope.

"Dragons" is an exhibit on the sea front at Teignmouth, as part of the TRAIL (Teignmouth Recycled Art In the Landscape) art exhibition Link in 2015.
"Dragons" was a joint effort between the Gatehouse Academy, Langdon Hospital Art Group and Dawlish Friends - led by Mellissa Muldoon.
Dragon People watching 'oer Loch Ness, though monsters they did see,
Looked just like a row of old car tyres to me'
These recycled sculptures, that really are car tyres, look to me like magic dragons, breathing fire.
New Planet?
Our planet is getting full of rubbish that we scatter.
It's floating out in space, non-biodegradable matter.
Can we carry on, all take and never give,
Until there simply isn't any room in which to live?
Sure, we've spaceships now that travel to the stars,
Lets go there and make a mess of a planet that's not ours,
Lay the land to waste, leave destruction all about,
Or shall we start to clean up now, before our time runs out.

The Sea Dragon is a mythical creature but pollution of our sea is a
reality. If the dragon could speak it would ask us to make a huge effort
to clean up our seas as plastics remain in the environment for hundreds
of years and cause serious damage to wildlife.
We all know there is a convenient way of recycling plastic milk bottles through the green box collection system. This established process demonstrates the circular economy that reduces landfill and creates jobs through re- manufacturing. Innovative technology is opening up new opportunities for us to have a cleaner planet and applying the concept of a circular economy to our consumerism will influence manufacturing methods.
