| Introduction | Recycled, Upcycled and Assemblage Jewelry. I get a charge out of using things overlooked and under appreciated by others. I have been working with recycled materials for over 20 years, I think i like the extra challenge of working with what is available and i congratulate myself on finding uses for things normally thrown away. I get really excited about finding a resource that is abundant! and figuring out a good way to reuse it. I have been collecting bits of this and that, old junk drawer kind of stuff, broken things, shiny things, stuff I find on the street while walking. There is nothing like the patina of a partially rusted, partially shiny smashed bottle cap or piece of metal - run over by cars with the pavement texture ground into it. Yeah!! <:0) The metal from soda pop cans are my current passion. I studied Art at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, IL where I received a MFA in Fibers and Art History. For over a decade I have directed an arts program at Patchwork Central in inner city Evansville, IN. I enjoy making art with the children from the neighborhood, who often bring me cool items they find themselves in walking through our city’s streets. |
