Recycling trash and making trash into treasured ART!
It all started on my walks on the downtown streets of St. Augustine and my job working at a Computer Store.
Attracted by shiny objects, metal pieces and circuit boards as well as RAM and CPU'S from junk computers, scraps in construction dumpsters, discarded papers, dried flowers, broken jewelry parts and other "art supplies" such as hubcaps, license plates, altoid boxes, cds, styrofoam and also junk jewelry parts, beads, items that people give me or materials I find at the local Trinity Thrift Store. I started incorporating these objects and turning them into art.
I really like the idea of repurposing and celebrating these objects and giving them a new use and a new purpose I feel this opens up a dialog about recycling and may help the viewer think more creatively as well as realizing the accessibility of art supplies all around.
