The idea behind my artwork is sustainability.... reduce, reuse, and recycle. The less we have in the landfills, the better! All of my artwork is make from 100% recycled materials - materials that were on their way to a life sentenced to a landfill.

this one is made from found coke and mountain dew cans. the soda can rose is fastened in the bottom of the coke can - showing the beauty that can "grow" from taking actions such as recycling. the destroyed can that the flower is growing from helps me embody the "trash to treasure" idea that im going for. :) hope you guys like it!

This is so great - I deeply respect people who realise that something must be done about our wasteful living. :aww:
How do you proceed when making an artwork like this? Take the rose for example - how many cans is it made from?

im so sorry for the late reply - ive been so busy and my inbox somehow exploded when i wasnt looking.

i just wanted to say thank you for the great comment - it makes me really happy when someone respects and appreciates my work in that way.

it always depends on the flower - but i think a good average for a rose is about 3 cans per flower. sometimes more, sometimes less. i always reuse scraps from previous flowers, so im never really sure how many it takes. =p
