ECO ART: Reclaimed Garbage Transformed Into Amazing Sculptures

Most discarded objects such as plastic toys, utensils and metal objects will fall fate to an eternity in a landfill, but artist Sayaka Ganz sees a second life in them. In a move for both the planet and art, Ganz recovers all of this junk and upcycles it into animal shaped sculptures. Meant to depict animals caught in motion, at a distance the sculptural effect is certainly striking – one look and you can’t help but think you’ve just caught a real life leap or swoop frozen in time.

Juxtapoz Handmade Book

Juxtapoz Handmade Book

This carefully curated new book in the ongoing Juxtapoz series collects handicrafts that transcend the cliches of the contemporary movement.



These objects are indeed works of art, created with lashings of passion, whimsy and humor. The subject matter varies from foodstuff to robots and materials run the gamut from cardboard and paper to cloth, porcelain, metal, wool and yarn. All have been molded, etched, knitted or stitched into surprising shapes and forms from a knitted TV Dinner to a miniature streetscape. These are works that have crossed the boundary between craft, design and contemporary art, many worthy of exhibition in galleries and museums.

Beads

Las bolitas de colores siempre han sido una obsesión para grandes y niños, las canicas de vidrio son mágicas, de plástico, collares brillantes, bolas de fútbol, de playa, pero las bolitas o chaquiras para collares siempre han sido hipnotizantes, por algo los españoles conquistadores nos quitaron tantas cosas a cambio de unas bolitas. Hay un gran sentido filosófico en ellas ademas de químicos, biológicos, científicos y otros, es este un tema en el que se puede tejer largo, y eso hace Natsu, tejer y entrelazar bolitas...

Artist Statement

My artwork is made of intertwined strings of beads. Beads are like atoms, the basis on which the entire world is formed. To me, the act of stringing beads is like prayer and contemplation. Through my creation, I purify myself and trace and experience the mysterious workings of the universe little by little. Creating my work reminds me of the most precious thing that I have forgotten since my birth here on earth.

Andy Warhol Factory

The Factory was Andy Warhol's original New York City studio from 1962 to 1968, although his later studios were known as The Factory as well. The Factory was located on the fifth floor at 231 East 47th Street, in Midtown Manhattan. The rent was "only about one hundred dollars a year". The building no longer exists.

Let's share art!

Teaching Arts just get me to notice that art is my obsession. I am in love of all art pursuits, I doesn't matter what is it. One day I am in love in making paper work, another one I want to design clothes, another one I want to make jewellery or illustration, just name the art and show me some sensational works and I am just in love...my problem is the lack of time to make my own work. Since I will find the time and money to start my own Factory I will collect all the work am in love in this blog.
