Recycled Cardboard Skeletons

Barry Baxter "made a bunch of recycled cardboard skeletons. Then left them in public places so people could take them home."

The 1st thing that popped into my head when I saw this was gingerbread people! Granted they aren't, but since they resemble the festive cookies, I thought it was best to share them on Christmas Eve. Thought, they are great for any Winter holiday celebration. My family always starts the holiday celebrations on Christmas Eve. We plan on decorating gingerbread people and houses tonight while dinner is cooking. I hope you all have a fantastic time at any of your end of the year celebrations. Perhaps fit making a skull into the celebration.

Upcycled Skulls

Sculptor / Junk Artist / Upcycler Gabriel Dishaw from Indianapolis, IN told us: “I'm an upcycler and use recycled materials such as adding machines, typewriter and computers to create my art. I recently started a series around skulls and what to share them with you.”

There is something philosophical in thinking about this work.  The act of taking something that has reached its end and using it to create new art that is dedicated to the symbolic image of the end. It's quite a powerful natural experience that one sees repeated in the processes that decompose our world.  Thank you for sharing with us the beginnings of this new amazing series of skulls.
