Trash is In

The saying is really true: one man's trash is another (wo)man's treasure!

Abstract Recycling Exhibit at the Provenence Center, New London.  Serendipity brought me to this show and to meet some wonderful artists.  A new take on the previous exhibit at the Transfer Station.  I am honored to be included:

Recent installation exhibit at the Morrison Gallery, Kent CT by Henry Kilmowicz
Artist statement:
“Cardboard is simple and straightforward. It is also a severely limited material. It has an ever-present cultural bias related to its past uses as a container or its present use as waste. I love it when the material transcends its cultural confines. If I can make something beautiful from cardboard, I have then said that anything can be made valuable, fruitful, or hopeful. I see this work as very positive because of the lengths that have been traveled by the material from trash to beauty. It is a statement about the possible—that all things can be redeemed, often for more than what was deposited. Creativity can be that redeemer.”

This exhibit was truly amazing!!!  If you can get out to Kent, selected pieces are on exhibit through Oct. 6th.  It is a "WOW" installation show, and very beautiful gallery.  We enjoyed meeting Bill Morrison and talking guitars too.
