As an artist who has been making jewelry from recycled materials for over a decade, I am very aware of the growing interest from both the public and the art world in this type of art.<\/p>\n
Ten years ago, there wasn’t much interest in or understanding of jewelry made from recycled materials. This summer, I have been invited to participate in several exhibitions with the theme of reuse.<\/p>\n
When my work is on exhibit, I include statements to communicate ideas and challenge beliefs about consumption with the hope of inspiring viewers to see the potential value in the discarded in a whole new way.<\/p>\n
At the opening reception of <\/i><\/span><\/span>re\/Purposed <\/i><\/span>(details below) two ladies were admiring my <\/i><\/span>21st Century Breastplate<\/i><\/span>. When they found out I was the artist, they exclaimed in unison, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure!” I knew my message had been heard loud and clear!<\/i><\/span>
