TRAIL20 THE SCULPTURES
20 years of creativity, community and rethinking waste.
For two decades, TRAIL – Teignmouth Recycled Art in the Landscape has transformed Teignmouth’s seafront into an outdoor gallery, bringing together artists, community groups, schools and makers to create thought-provoking artwork from the things we leave behind.
TRAIL20 celebrates our 20th year with another collection of sculptures made using recycled, reclaimed and repurposed materials.
Each piece has its own story, about its maker, its materials, its inspiration and the ideas it asks us to consider. Together they celebrate creativity and resourcefulness while encouraging us to look differently at waste, our environment and the world around us.
Explore the TRAIL20 sculptures below.
Click on any sculpture to discover the story behind the work, meet its maker and find out what it was made from.
Look closer. Think differently. See what waste can become.
