Happy Face by Bettina Schori

Bettina Schori created the Happy Face by upcycling plastic and a variety of disposable objects and waste materials found on her way.

This very happy man with wild silver fox hair was born
from reusing a plastic lid and handle from a paint bucket, cord, metal bits, a teddy bear’s eye, plastic spoon and other undefinable found objects or discarded materials that have been sterilised to give them a new use and to bring joy to anyone wishing to have a happy companion at home.

In her work process, the artist cuts and reshapes the
plastic using heat, to achieve the forms she is envisioning to bring to life these happy and fun characters. All materials are screwed or joint together
without the use of glue.

Material: Mixed media including plastic waste, lid and
handle from paint bucket, kind of natural cord, metal bits, teddy bear’s eye, plastic spoon and other undefinable found objects.

Dimensions: L 29 x W 26 x D 3 cm

Colour: White, red, nude, gold, black, grey

Weight: 230 g
