Slide Person: What to say:
number:
Slide one: Marie Environmentally friendly sculptures by Chelsea-Ann
Cook and Mare McCauley.
Slide two; Chelsea We choose to look at Chris Pilmore.
- He left school at the age of 16 to persue the
family career in the local mines in the east
Midlands. He however did not want to do this.
- After 20 years of working underground he
“escaped” to persue his lifelong love for
creativity. He done this by moving to Somerset.
- At the age of 37 he started creating
environmentally friendly sculpture.
- Chris Pilmore says: “I have no formal
qualifications nor do I want any as I believe that
my work should reflect a part of me and not
something I have learned from others. If I need to
know anything I will learn it from my own
mistakes.”
Slide Three: Marie What inspired Chris Pilmore to create environmentally
friendly sculptures?
Chris Pilmore was inspired to do environmentally
friendly sculptures by the natural world, animals, plants
and natural form.
Slide Four: Chelsea: Does the artist have a purpose for creating the
sculptures?
- Chris Pilmore believes that making sculptors out
of recycled materials will inspire people to try to
re-use some of their recycled things.
Why does Chris Pilmore use recycled materials?
- Chris Pilmore says: “I believe that we all have a
responsibility to take an active part in reducing our
energy consumption or reducing the amount of waste we
produce. We can all play our part for this reason a few
years ago I made the conscious decision to work as far as
possible using recycled or reclaimed materials. Materials
that are generally discarded or burned.”
Slide five: Marie Why buy new materials when there are perfectly good
ones waiting to be used?
- Chris loves the challenge of giving new life to old
materials, he has been working in recycled materials for
a number of years now, creating pieces ranging from
table top sized natural forms to huge life like creatures.
On a mission to show the world the potential of using
found and re-claimed materials, giving them new life
and reincarnating them into spectacular sculptures.
Slide six: Chelsea Mutha the recycled Tyre annosaurus. Here is a picture of
what the sculpture looks like. The process of making the

2. sculpture:
- first he had to draw the designs
- secondly he had to draw the final designs
- then he had to build the body for the sculpture.
- After that he needed to find some recycled
materials to make the sculpture.
- Finally he moulded the tyre’s and then drilled
them into place.
Materials the sculpture is made entirely out of recycled
tyres.
The purpose of the sculpture is to show people that
recycled materials are just as good as new materials.
Slide Seven: Marie Here is a short clip of a news report with Chris Pilmore
being interviewd.
Slide eight: Chelsea The final person we look at was Ashley Baldwin-Smith.
- Ashley Baldwin-Smith is a contemporary painter
and sculptor.
- Many of her sculptures are created from found
metal objects.
- She is a member of the Cambridge arts of
movement
- After leaving school she trained as an engineer.
Slide Nine: marie Ashley Baldwin-Smith was inspired by a sculptor called
Henry Moore.
Henry more said, “it is a mistake for a sculptor or a
painter to speak or write very often about his job. It
releases tension needed for his work.” This is what
inspire her to do sculptors.
Slide ten: Chelsea One of her sculptors is called the crazysect. Here is a
picture of what it looks like.
It has been constructed entirely from surgical
instruments plus it also has moving parts.
The process of making the sculptor is when the metal is
shaped it is then welded together.
