Robert Bradford, an english artist born in London, began in 2004 experimenting with a series of sculptures which utilise plastic toys as their main modelling material, and which have now attracted consistent international attention. After trials with two unsatisfactory construction methods, he began screwing the toys into wooden armatures, which proved both strong and highly adaptable as a method.

“One day about four years ago out in the studio I was looking into my childrens box of outgrown / discarded toys which happened to be stored in the same building and responded to the random collection of colours shapes and forms they made. I figured that if I could find a way of putting them together to constitute a larger form they would have great potential as larger scale sculpture.”

“Some people of course just say they are rubbish which of course is perfectly true! Some find the sculptures beautiful/ curious/ scary/ weird/ emotional and etc. (which considering all they are really are , is bits of what is usually seen as trash) is great.”

He has exhibited widely and has work in public and private collections in England and America.

The Ring Pull Project began in 2007 with a collaboration between Bottletop’s Oliver Wayman and Luciano Dos Santos from Brazil. They devised a training program teaching residents how to make the products which the charity would in turn buy from them.

This soon became a very simple but effective formula to help people in the community to work their way out of poverty. So far the project has made and sold over 3000 products through a partnership with the clothing brand Fenchurch.

And this is not enough: they’ve created an amazing Bag-Radio Machine too: ‘Rock your badge out!’

Don’t lose one more sec, have a look at the BottleTop’s website and support this project!
