Philadelphia Dumpster Divers: Leo Sewell
Ruby Re-Usable first encountered Leo Sewell on the beloved TV show Mr Rogers’ Neighborhood, where Leo was showing Mr Rogers how he attaches found junk onto wooden armatures to create his recycled art animals. She also read about how he was a member of the Philadelphia Dumpster Divers, which later inspired her to entitle this blog “Olympia Dumpster Divers.” Leo Sewell’s art work is in museum collections around the world, but he recently made the time to talk trash with school children in Chatham, New Jersey.
