Lately, we have found ourselves falling upon eco-friendly art. Our last show, Ordinary Alchemy, featured 2 artists who consider the environment with their artwork. Christina Yocca creates sculpture that is made soley from organic materials that can safely return to the earth, while Cassandra Tondro rescues mis-mixed house paints from Home Depot that end up in the trash if not purchased. Our current show, Urban Mosaics features Sandy Schimmel Gold who creates portraits from recycled mail, and Joshua Stone who makes paper from recycled paper in addition to creating work with found objects like glass and rubber from tires.Our next show, which could be said to perhaps complete our series, is entitled Assemblage & Recyclates. The exhibition will feature nine artists who work with found objects and recycled materials. Seven of the artists are from Colorado. Their found materials range from wood, glass, and plastic to Tyvek, used coffee filters, and old maps.
The power of art reigns as always with artists who demonstrate their concern for our environment in our series of Eco-friendly art exhibitions.
