Ross Art Museum Features Eco-Friendly Exhibit

My work was selected to be part of the eco-friendly exhibition, “Discarded to Distinctive”, that is opening today and on display through Nov. 16 at the Ross Art Museum .

Twelve pieces are on displaytogether with the work of Chakaia Booker, Lyne Kearns, Hayley Muse Rupersburg and Aurora Robson:

“We have five artists who are all doing wonderful things with items that are easily overlooked,” said Tammy Wallace, first assistant for the museum and curator of the new exhibit. “These women have truly elevated their raw materials into unique, beautiful, sometimes amusing, and sometimes inspiring expressions of creativity. Ultimately, the goal is for everyone to re-think the items they toss into the trash and ask themselves: ‘Can this be recycled? Can this be reused? What could I turn this into?'”

And the icing on the cake was that my RB Shlelly was chosen to be on the exhibition flier!

I love the three bracelets that are piled on top of each other. They remind me of lanyards!
