reuse the roof!

mckenna hallett digs through dumpsters and scours scrap metal yards looking for rusty copper flashing and gutters to cut into squares, rectangles and her signature kimono shaped jewelry. she lives her life by three guiding principles: reduce, recycle, reuse and her website offers insight into this philosophy, her art and her process. take your time and absorb the richly colored, highly textured work on the pages of hallett’s site – you might even come away with a new perspective when you read about her equally colorful way of life. the new year is upon us…what a perfect time to embrace a new idea.

many thanks to judy dunn for the link, and for spreading another important message to the world as we move into 2007.

crazy kinetics

i love movement and surprise in art, in life. nemo gould makes astonishing kinetic sculptures from found objects and posts videos on his website of the sculptures in action.

a minute. that’s all i want. a minute as a fly on the wall of this guy’s mind as he comes up with these ideas. there are quite a few pictures and short video clips so be prepared to stay awhile.

it doesn’t get much better than this.
