Something I am working on is combining old stuff with new. These new pieces take bits of trash to make textures on silver using the rolling mill. But the real surprise is what the “gemstone” is made of.
an abandoned bulldozer.
Found on the island where we are building Exnihilo, it is only one example of many abandoned vehicles that threaten the beauty of the island so one of the programs we plan to launch is turning trash into sculpture. On this trip we filmed me sitting on the bulldozer talking about the proposed program we call JUNK-A-NEW.
I took some chunks of this rusty wreck home with me where they are finding new life as a beautiful gemstone!
I call it JUNK-A-NEW jewelry!
