With US$50 (€38) worth of materials including recycled polyester strapping (PET), glue and plywood, American artist and architect Kyle Martin has created a stunning eco-friendly holiday tree sculpture.
“Several years ago I decided to put a new “spin” on the Christmas tree by not only making it hollow and transparent but having it hang from the ceiling rather than supported by the floor,” explains the artist. “This idea came from working with polyester/fiberglass ribbons (PET strapping). This amazing material not only has amazing tensile strength and can be heat fused, but it also has a beautiful green transparency.”
The hanging recycled Xmas tree also has the rather unusual ability to spin around resulting in some rather spectacular and showy light patterns.
