The
innovative artist Doug Powell creates the
illusion of
three-dimensional form through the
use and arrangement of recycled,
or up cycled,
computer keyboard keys. Up cycling has a positive
environmental impact due to the rescue and
re-purposing of
manufactured objects.
The reuse of materials has been employed
by
artists throughout history from Amish quilters
and American folk
artists to Modern Masters,
such as Picasso, Joseph Cornell, and
Robert
Rauschenberg, all of whom have reused materials
or found
objects to create new, more complex works of art.
