Wonderful Me Flies Away by Ruby Re-Usable

Olympia Dumpster Divers Stuart Gullstrand and Ruby Re-Usable have recycled art work on display at the Olympia Hands On Children’s Museum’s “Looking At Art Gallery,” courtesy of  Matter Gallery (more pics HERE).

Art from recycled materials is all the rage now, and that’s a good thing for the environment, but it’s not a new thing. It started with Picasso and Braque before anyone ever heard of recycling. Matter Gallery owner Jo Gallaugher understands that it takes more than choice of materials to make good art, and she chooses artists with an eye toward quality, whether the work be jewelry, furniture, sculpture or some other art form.  Read more of Alec Clayton’s review of Bret Lyon’s work at Matter Gallery in the Volcano HERE
