Sustainability"We are victims of our own success. Money doesn't help creativity. We try to live modestly and have no assistants," says Tim Noble. Both British artists, Tim Noble and Sue Webster, are famous and familiar artists. Noble and Webster are recognized for their distinctive art called silhouette or shadow art. Their punk and style moves are more than artistic. Not only do they create these efficient shadows, but they use sustainable art. This means they use a variety of recycled materials, which would otherwise be wasted. These artists use recycled waste such as metal, broken tools, scrap wood, as well as gold and animal jewelry. Try giving them one of your broken pieces of jewelry and watch it be shaped into their next spectacular work of art. Everything they find is used to create their pièce de résistance or masterpiece. This idea or concept is called sustainable living. Sustainable living has influenced many artists around the world, and by creating art, it helps raise awareness, raise funds and touch many of our fragile hearts. Sustainable art not only helps people around the world, but also helps economically. For example, we all use paper bags, paper bags are made of wood, and wood makes paper. So if we recycle paper bags we will no longer waste paper and we will not cut down trees. Sustainable living is very important to our system. Both professional artists, Tim Noble and Sue Webster, collect sustainable "supplies" to create distinguishable silhouettes that display something that is striking and powerful. Sustainability is "the quality of not being harmful to the environment or depleting natural resources, and thus sustaining long-term ecological balance."
