So I go to see my friend Jane's show in the permanent collection gallery of the Islip Museum...and then there just HAPPENS to be a show in the main galleries that is allllll on recycled art?? I can't believe how perfect this is to where my head is at.

Making the Most of It
September 19 - November 18
Reception: October 14
"Curator Karen Shaw presents artists who critique our consumer culture and
wasteful ways by turning mundane throw-away materials into fantastic
treasures."
:):):) (Karen Shaw also curated the show I was in there 'The Nature of Things' last year)

THIS piece was my favorite!! I love it so much that I'm sad that I didn't make it!! ever get that? cellular information ittybitties all obsessively rolled up?...*drool*

and just for my current shredder lust...there is an interactive centerpiece to the next room: le shredder.(?!!?) as you enter the room you are handed a piece of colored paper (old flyers) to shred to add to the sculpture. (!)

I've been enjoying another little recycling obsession/experiment: cutting things up into ittybitty pieces for artmatter. here we have white junkmail paper in front.

I've got a few more bunches of colors that I need more jars for...
been lusting after a shredder...though of course the compulsive and repetitive scissor action is strangely comforting to me...once I start it's SOOO hard to stop!
I want to cut up everything into wee squares and rectangles.mmmmmmmm
