Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose before you Recycle
I strive to keep my environmental footprint at a minimum. I reuse as much stuff as possible. If I can’t reuse it, I transform or repurpose it for another use. This is the main aspect of work with reclaimed, to reuse stuff (wood in particular) that many people toss after one use. My salvaged wood trees are made from salvaged game bird crates used to stock hunting areas throughout NJ. My upcycled cork boards and framed in salvaged wood and corks are collected from friends, family members and a few local businesses. Here are a couple of photographs of my work with reclaimed in the 2012 Long Beach Twp. recycling calendar. What a great way to get exposure of my work and for people to become engaged in reducing the amount of waste they generate. One of my landscape photos is featured on the January 2013 page.
