Artist Concept:
 
"Vivid Imagination" is a vibrant and intricate piece that serves as both a celebration and a reflection on the art of garment making. Created from a repurposed mirror discovered at a local upcycle station and adorned with disused industrial sewing machine thread, likely intended for sari making, this artwork is deeply personal. Buttons and sewing paraphernalia, gifted by a lifelong friend named Nellicka, add texture and depth, transforming the mirror into a canvas that honours seamstresses and the history of clothing production. "Vivid Imagination" acknowledges the beauty of handmade garments while also reflecting on the darker history of sweatshops and the industrial revolution. It emphasises the importance of respecting both the craftsmanship of the past and the challenges faced by those in the industry today, urging viewers to reconsider our current throwaway culture.
 
 
 
Junk and Disorderly Disclaimer:
 
I am in the business of Junk, old unused items people are going to throw away.  My joy as a recreator is to wave my magic shiny wand and transform them into something I am proud to send out my door.  It must be said though, that there is nothing perfect in the old (sorry mum) - if you look closely, you are going to find rust, scratches or the odd ugly backside as I endeavour to do my best in a sustainable way.  With upcycling, must come the understanding that these come to you flawed  like the sediment in an old wine, or a tarnished old coin from years ago.  Enjoy the old and celebrate our flaws, old or new!  Thanks MSM.
 
Note: Please be advised that my range of upcycled wall sculptures can be quite heavy. It is essential that they are hung correctly, on a suitable weight-bearing location of your wall, specifically on the stud line. All my artworks have been previously hung in-house for over 72 hours to ensure their ability to bear weight properly. Shipping of my heavier sculptures is available upon application.
