California-based artist Kristina Lewis throws away little. No, she does not hand over waste paper or scrap materials - she herself uses all of this in the name of art and for the good of mankind. So, her incomparable, but slightly incomprehensible installations are made of the most incredible things, from rubber scraps to unnecessary cocktail pipes.
Trash-art, as this art is called, where old rubbish, spoiled or used things that other people would gladly send to the trash heap are involved, is already a fairly common occupation. Sculptures from trash are created by Paul Logridge, we recently wrote about Sayaka Ganz's "trash" installations … Kristina Lewis will continue this list with honor.
For her work, she uses all the garbage that she finds in her garage, backyard or apartment. Used cocktail straws, remnants of polymer clay, paper clips, buttons, corrugated cardboard, wrapping paper, old hair ties, thin wire … If you put it all together, you get a pile of rubbish. But in the skillful hands of Christina, the garbage "blooms", turning into graceful installations.
It is difficult to say whether there are many who want to hang such a product at home on the wall, decorate their office or present it as a gift to a friend. Nevertheless, we have an unambiguous attitude towards garbage - it has no place in the house. Maybe so, but Christina Lewis just wondered how unfair we are to things that we cannot find better use. The rest of the author's work can be found on her website.

A sculptor who creates the unusual from the ordinary. Original installations by Jacob Dahlgren
A creative person differs from "ordinary" people in that he is able to see the unusual in the ordinary. Often he looks at the world from his own, special angle, and thanks to these abilities, he gives the world wonderful works of art that you can admire almost endlessly. And suddenly it turns out that from quite ordinary objects, such as multi-colored blocks of paper for notes, empty cans, multi-colored zippers, and other things with which we
