Imagine you are living in a moving house. Inside the house, there is a small kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. Everything you need is close at hand.

In the US, you can really see these moving houses on the road. They are called recreational vehicles (RV,房车).People call them houses on wheels. When it's holiday time, the whole family often gets into this lovely house and hits the road for a trip across the country.

Compared to a real house, this home on the road is small for a family who has to spend every hour of every day together. But the best thing about it is that it changes your journey into a free exploration (探索).

You can drive as long as you like without worrying about finding hotels. Or you can just stop somewhere nice and stay for a few weeks. You may also come across other families who are on road trips. Together, you take out your tents and snacks. It's camping time with a lot of chat and laughter.

Of course, RVs are not always convenient. They can sometimes break down and you have to spend time mending them. But this type of road trip still wins people's hearts because they can go whenever and wherever they want.

Every month we look at a different artist. We think Haroshi is super cool—he makes sculptures from skateboards.

Haroshi is in his late 30s. He's a skateboarder but he also makes things from wood. He began skateboarding when he was 15 years old and he loved it. He used to skate every day. Now, if you know anything about skateboarding, you'll know that skateboards don't last forever because they break. Haroshi didn't throw his out but he collected them. Over time he built up a big collection and at the same time he learnt about all the different types of skateboards. Surprisingly, not all skateboards are of the same shape and actually they are often built in different ways. By the time he was 25, he had a lot of collections of old skateboards.

He decided he had to do something with them so he started to cut them up. As he was doing that, he noticed some interesting patterns(图案)in the wood. He then cut more and fixed them on top of each other. The first thing he created from the wood was a piece of jewelry. He created something new from something old.

Today, however, he is known for his large 3D wooden sculptures. His ideas generally come from skateboarding culture, from skateboarding cats to cool trainers, but also everyday topics such as hurting yourself, getting better, being crazy about something and growing up. All skateboarders will understand these. Haroshi has made over 40 pieces and each piece takes a very long time. There is no doubt that he is very talented. But he had no formal art training. He taught himself.

Haroshi held an exhibition(展览)in London last month. As we entered the ?rst room, we saw a huge bird that covered one wall. There was also a sculpture called Ordinary Life. It looked like a broken leg—a very common problem, of course. It's unbelievable to think that these sculptures are all made from broken skateboards. But there's something else that is really interesting about Haroshi's works. In the twelfth century, Unkei, a sculptor, placed a glass ball in each of his works to show the heart of the piece. Haroshi also places something inside his sculptures—a piece of broken skateboard. In this way, he gives his sculptures life. We think that is just amazing!
