Shelton Dumpster Diver Barbara De Pirro creates biomorphic spheres by crocheting repurposed plastic bags, then arranging these pods in intriguing settings that mimic nature in unsettling ways.  Her most recent installation, vortex plastica, opens October 9, 2010 at 912 Broadway in Tacoma, part of Spaceworks Tacoma’s creative use for vacant spaces.  Barbara is also a 2010 recipient of an Artist Trust GAP grant; read more about De Pirro’s recycled art HERE and HERE
