RE-VISIONS: Art Made from Reclaimed Materials
Buttons and beads, wreck yard salvage, thrift store clothing. All this and more were part of Tohono Chul Park’s “Re-Invisions: Art from Reclaimed Materials” show. In good company with local Tucson artists who reinvent, recycle, refashion disposable goods into one-of-a-kind art treasures.
“Wish You Were Here” at Tohono Chul Park
Fiber art postcards are celebrated at Tohono Chul Park, Tucson, Arizona. The first “Wish You Were Here” exhibition in 2006 displayed 215 artists from the United States, Canada, Australia and Belgium. Still keeping good company, my “Saguaro National Park” entry was one of the cards on exhibit.
Belle Armoire article on Thrift Store Transformation
“Old garments and accessories metamorphize into new creations…”
A thrift store find was transformed into a Chanel-style jacket, and published in the January/February 2008 issue of Belle Armoire magazine. “Coco” also hung at the Karen Lukacs: Transformations show at the Art Institute of Tucson.
The University of Arizona, Bouquets to Art 2010
I was one of four fashion designers invited to participate in the University of Arizona’s Bouquets to Art third biennial. Upcycled sweaters and a thrift store skirt were refashioned into a two piece suit. Live flowers embellished the collar and cuffs.
