Recycling and Trash Art is the inspiration for this Mini Moo! Teenagers in Abbey painted it in gold and decorated it from ear to hoof in a mosaic of cut up recycled compact discs, with protruding plastic bottles and toys, creating a bedazzled sparking moo fit for its place in the Cow-munity Temple Installation at the Grafton Centre.
The group had conversations about climate change as they created the artwork. ‘My Generation will Save the Planet’ is the Abbey Youths’ SOS message in a bottle to the world.
Abbey Teens are part of the wider group, Abbey People. Based in the Abbey and Barnwell area, they are community-led, providing a range of exciting projects for the local community.
