Artists paint UK hillside for Earth Day

An art company based in northern England has sprayed a giant artwork on a Yorkshire hillside to mark this year's Earth Day. Over three days, using football pitch paint and sprayers, a team of ten people created a roughly 50-meter-long image of a smiling girl holding a globe, next to the words: "Vote for climate, vote for our future."

00:00Right behind me is a giant piece of artwork. It's like 50 meters long. It's anamorphic so it can only really be seen from one position.
00:13It's of a girl holding the earth for Earth Day and the words are vote for climate and vote for our future.
00:19And really she's smiling so she's optimistic because this year it's the UK elections and it's an opportunity for us to make a real difference to our children's future.
00:27Because by voting for climate in mind you're also voting for health because the air would be cleaner.
00:33We're voting for prosperity because everything's going that way now so we really need to invest in those things.
00:38So it's a bit of a no-brainer really so we're just trying to encourage people to vote with climate in mind and also just to vote as well this year and that would be marvellous.
00:48So to make this picture first of all I had to convince my daughter to help us out and so she's modelling here.
00:57Once we got past that it's then making a drawing and then mapping it out and there was a team of 10 of us.
01:04There was 10 of us over three days and then we're using football pitch paint and sprayers to basically spray the image.
01:11It survived the rain a little bit and it'll be here for probably another week I would say.
