Finished piece



Recycle.


I know, its not a traditional English script, but it does say recycle.


The word was cut from the mosaic and glued onto a background of receipts.


Our consumer culture front and center for art. Bright packaging + receipts = Art Work. I like it. I like it alot.


I prefer this version, though. The word recycle is here in negative space, cut from the mosaic. It is hard for our eyes to trace the pattern of the word. The repeating pattern tends to capture our brain. Add to that, the fact that the word Recycle is in a non traditional script.


Recycling can be hard to locate. We have to work thru our long held assumptions, to view the world thru fresh eyes.
