Turning Trash Into Art

 

I've got two more pieces of art from the Shemer Art Gallery's exhibit called "Reclaimed".  Above is a piece by artist Shari Keith called "Snack Food Triptych".  


Here's a close up segment.  It's made from fused snack food bags and wrappers.  The pieces of the bags and wrappers appear to be fused to little pieces of aluminum.  It certainly makes colorful patterns.

And, speaking of patterns, here is another piece with a similar look.  The artist for this one is Heidi Dauphin and it's called "10 x 10 x10 = 1000".
































Here is a close-up of this one.  It's composed of colorful squares which might be pieces of painted wood and each square is covered with tiny objects.  

Two more very clever and attractive pieces that would look great hanging on a wall almost anywhere.

We bought our oldest son a picture of a knight in armour which is made from old beer cans many years ago

I love it when people make art out of the crazy quantities of stuff we throw away every day.

Creating art from junk food wrappers (I prefer to call them snacks) is a new one for me. ⎦˚◡˚⎣

I like this type of art. All very colourful and great for recycling. Thanks Sharon

Parts of that sorta look like parts from an old Heathkit transistor radio set.
