UPCYCLING - A Pop-Up Art Event

Steven Altarescu and Marilyn Mitchell have joined together to exhibit their art. Upcycling refers to works of art that utilize materials that might normally be discarded. The upcycled works in this exhibit are filled with the artists’ passionate desire to reveal beauty and meaning in that which is usually seen as worthless and useless. Altarescu utilizes cardboard, playing a counterpoint to the pieces that are left flat or hanging. Mitchell uses fabric and natural materials such as pine needles along with oil paint. Through their work both artists express their appreciation of objects that might not be considered fine art.
