What's in a pile of "trash"? Art!

Creating beauty from re-purposed, discarded and cast-off materials that sends an important message: “As a country we are overflowing with trash and recyclables.” Art can inspire creative solutions ... and inspire re-use and upcycling. Enjoy others' creativity and make your own piece of recycled art to share.

WE ARE OVERFLOWING, SPONSORED BY COVANTA DEMONSTRATES THE SUSTAINABLE NATURE OF ART.

Flotsam was created by artist Donald Gialenalla.  Flotsam stands 8-10' tall and 12-15' long and will be created in the studio and delivered to the site as a finished sculpture. The surrounding 3’ tall circular low fence is approximately 25’ in diameter into which visitors will deposit their empty bottles and cans to fill up the "ocean" around him. The wheels and braces will be covered by the sea of bottles. 

He'll be made of repurposed plastic and recycled objects firmly attached with stainless hardware to a painted wooden armature.
