Art: A load of hot air


Street artist Joshua Allen Harris creates animated art using nothing more than plastic bags and the ventilation air coming out of the New York subway. It all started out as bit of fun but soon progressed from the original polar bear to larger pieces such as the giraffe and Loch Ness Monster. What looked like ordinary trash on the street would magically transform into life whenever a train went by.
