Are your sculptor or photographer friends creating work with 3R or waste related themes?

  1. Interesting that you should post this... at the moment, the Art Gallery of Alberta has an interesting display by Grande Prairie artist, Laura St. Pierre in which she created large "installations" using trash. A sort of reflection on our consumer culture and what it leaves us...

  2. Thanks for the link Maria. I will most definitely check out the exhibition at the AGA.

    Love the post Mark. It's a great idea. Maybe we shouls hold our own exhibition, with works produced by the MCRP grads. What do you think?
