Chiswick Business Park

Last week my harlequins and I attended a Recycling Event in Chiswick Business Park in west London. Usually that means some landscaping but there really is a park at the centre of this one and you have no idea of it from the street. There is a waterfall and a lake. The whole complex is run along lines that are as green as one can possibly make it. Intelligent louvres overhang the buildings and control the heat of the buildings. The water for the lake and the plants is saved from the roofs.

Harlequins gig in Chiswick

I have been preparing my harlequins for a gig at a Recycling event organised by Breathing Spaces UK Chiswick Business Park. Among the happenings an attempt will be made on the record for recycling a bag of rubbish for the Guinness Book of Records. The harlequin on the left has been exhibited before but it is a debut for the one on the right. To make that one stable I added a pet curling round its feet; its head is a flint. The armatures of the harlequins are made from odds and ends. The moustache came from a vacuum cleaner. The covering of the sculptures is recycled glass and chopped up CD's used for permeable paving, applied with silicone.
