Friday Freestyle: Green Art

This morning Kay and I are making a presentation to an architecture firm about potential ways to incorporate "green art" into design schemes. It's a great concept...but not a new one. Artists are thrifty and clever, and many have been making found objects into art pieces for a long time, certainly way before it became trendy.

A current Sapiro project that fits in this category is coming right along. The talented sculptor Jeff Erwine is in the process of curing, pickling, soldering, and sculpting found materials including metal scraps and wood planking from an old semi into an original sculpture. We should be finishing and installing the piece in about a month, and I will share images at that time. For now here is a sketch teaser:
