One More Time
Blue Door Arts Center
April - May 2022 Yonkers, N.Y. In this exhibition, artists were asked to create art by recycling objects that were made for other purposes. My piece "Digital Bloom" recycles a number of found objects including CDs, a Venetian blind wand, frozen food trays and lumber scarps. It was then painted with acrylic paints. It celebrates Spring and the hope that comes with it.
