2008

David was commissioned by Towner Off-site to create the last in their series of projects around Eastbourne.

From 14-17 August 2008, David transformed a plane tail unit and other unwanted objects into a temporary outdoor sculpture. With a team of volunteers, and a hands-on, inventive approach to the project, he used packaging tape, cable ties and cord to bind the objects together; rendering the plane unit virtually unrecognisable by the end of the four days.

Airshow fans were invited to do their bit for the environment during the four day event and instead of binning their used cans, water bottles and cardboard; they were encouraged to drop their rubbish off at the Wish Tower Slopes, where the sculpture was being constructed.

In the lead up to the project, Eastbourne Borough Council Spokesperson for Tourism, Cllr Steve Wallis said “I am very excited about this unusual art project taking place at Airbourne. It is something completely different and totally new for the airshow and with David building the sculpture over all four days; visitors will literally see the transformation before their eyes. Judging by some of David’s previous recycled projects, the change promises to be pretty spectacular.”
