it is a 24-foot high rooster made entirely from recycled plastics. I was glad to get a shot with people looking at it to give a sense of its size
This stunning piece, crafted by renowned Portuguese artist Artur Bordalo (Bordalo II) along with his team members João Sobral and João Carvalho, The project, a collaborative effort between the Massachusetts Design Art Technology Institute (DATMA) and the Greater New Bedford Vocational Technical High School (GNBVT), marks a significant cultural milestone for the community.
The creation process for this impressive sculpture began in March with Bordalo II discussing technical details via Zoom. The fabrication kicked off at GNBVT, where students under the guidance of their instructor, Steve Flowers, constructed the steel frame. The artists joined the installation effort in New Bedford in May. The rooster's structure, made from steel tubing covered with plywood, involved thousands of screws, numerous steel pieces, and support from local companies.
and was revealed in June, but I only got to see it recently
"Do not be afraid to try new things, even on a larger scale," Bordalo II encouraged the audience. "Working with trash had a very strong meaning when it comes to the ecosystem."
The 36-year-old artist emphasized that his goal was not merely to create beautiful art from waste but to convey a larger message about pollution's impact on animals and their habitats, ultimately affecting humanity. He expressed his hope that the plastic rooster would spark deeper reflections on these issues.
I think its such a cool piece and awesome made from recycled materials, well except for the frame perhaps

That is an amazing creation! Finding ways to use all the parts and make it blend into a rooster is mind boggling. Like a huge puzzle but he pulled it off. That is a cool creation, turning garbage into something of beauty!
isnt it just he has done pieces in a lot of places i love his style
