Super Rat... Faith Bebington

Liverpool artist Faith Bebbington has created an exciting new ‘Super Rat’ sculpture which re-uses over 200 plastic milk bottles and measures over 4 metres long from nose to tail!

Catch a glimpse of the pop-up sculpture at Baltic Triangle, Liverpool from Easter weekend onwards.
Faith is steadily developing a national reputation for her large sculptures using waste materials, having created a life-size Bengal Tiger using 400 plastic milk bottles for Veolia’s Save the Wild Tiger campaign launched at St Pancras station, to the Football Association commissioning a pair of life size Lions (one of cardboard, the other uses plastics including old stadium seats) for Wembley Stadium, London.
“I wanted to create my own urban version of wild animals that roam our cities, especially those with rivers like Liverpool – so it had to be a rat! I like the contradictions associated with rats being seen as vermin, as pets, and lab rats. The association between piles of rubbish and rats didn’t escape my notice when deciding to create the sculpture with plastic milk bottles!”
