Recycled Animal Art
Driven by a combination of her passion for fitting odd shapes together and a sympathy toward discarded objects, Japanese artist, Sayaka Ganz creates animals from thrift store plastics. She only select objects that have been used and discarded. She believes the best way for artists to help reduce waste is to show how beautiful the materials can be and what can be done with them.

Saeri Kiritani recently created a delicate and introspective sculptural self-portrait made entirely using 100 pounds of rice. A reflection of the New York-based artist’s Japanese culture (“I grew up in Japan, where rice was the biggest part of my diet. It still is. You could say that the cells of my body are made mostly from rice,” she commented), the sculpture stirs cultural ideas surrounding food, self-image and others’ perception of one’s culture and self-identity. The sculpture won a place in Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition and will be revealed at the Smithsonian Institute’s National Portrait Gallery on March 23 and on view through February 2014.
Earlier this year Beijing artist Li Hongbo opened his first solo exhibition titled, Pure White Paper in Australia at Dominik Mersch Gallery featuring his flexible sculptures made of common paper. Each sculpture is comprised of thousands of sheets of paper manually glued on top of each other in a sort of honeycomb composition allowing the layers to be pulled and stretched like an accordion. These paper stacks are then cut and sculpted using an electric saw into figurative forms. See the video of the Pure White Paper exhibition below!

Kevin Champeny - What Remains (2012) - Hand-cast urethane flowers
Artist’s statement:
“I sculpted each original flower, then created silicone molds of the originals, then I cast them in color. They are not painted in any way. I cast them in various two part liquid resins. These pieces take several months to design, sculpt, mold, and cast. The construction process is a painstaking adventure of careful placement and gluing (super super-glue), that can take up to a month to complete.”
