Recycled Into Art - Part 4

Another day and some more art made by recycling waste materials or using inexpensive everyday materials in a new way.

I've been a big fan of Mark Jenkins' street art for some time; his creepily realistic human figures are wonderful. Do have a look at his website and gallery here. But, recently, he's made some pieces by a process of 'guerilla moulding' using nothing more than sticky tape. The results include these curious animals (see below). Want to see how it's done, step by step? Click here.

I saw some art by Dean Patman at the Medici Gallery in London today. He's another artist that cleverly uses household objects to make animal sculptures:





And last, but not least, for today we have Jason Mecier who creates poignant collages and portraits from garbage.
