Recyclables find new life as art RECYCLED metal and wire has found a second life as a statue, which is now on display in Frankston. Steve the Emu is an artwork by Louise Grant. The artist used recycled material to create a model of an emu, which she entered into Frankston Arts Centre’s open exhibition this year. Grant said that the emu was named after late wildlife warrior Steve Irwin. “My Steve was born out of my love for the Australian Landscape, its flora and fauna and with this my passion for recycling,” she said. “Steve represents
Australian flora and fauna. I have literally melded the two together. Incorporating recycled wire, metal and a collection of native grasses and vines. He came to life in my studio. “Emus would have to be one of my favourite Australian birds – they have a character of their own.” Steve the Emu, alongside other open exhibition entries, are on display at Frankston Arts Centre until 25 August. To enquire about purchasing any of the displayed work contact Milla Dakovic at milla.dakovic@frankston.vic.gov.au.
