Repurposed Materials

25 Baseballs (Blue Seams). Acrylic on horsehide. 14 x 14 x 3 in. Hangs directly on wall. No frame or backing.

I recycle and repurpose.

I use a lot of found objects, like hubcaps picked up on the side of the road. I recycle bottle caps, medicine bottles,  paperboard gum packs, and bicycle tires and inner tubes. Most of the frames I use were found at Goodwill.

I color these wall sculptures with bright acrylic dots, dashes, stripes and circles. To me looks are everything.

Note that any photo with an off-white background is a piece that hangs directly on the wall. No frame or backing.
