The Salvage Spider which is a huge Orb Weaving Spider installed on the back wall of the VC, she is all made to scale, weighs 17 kg and took 8 hours to install. All constructed from waste destined for landfill, covered in teddy bear material, then the stuffing was run through a spinning wheel to create 200m of web.
