Recyclable art-Jane Perkins

 What we see as rubbish in our dayly lives, British artist Jane Perkins merely sees as colour to her pallet. It all started when she made broaches from recyclable materials found in dumpsters etc. This was too small to make an impact on the viewers life so she decided to go bigger. 

So with the major trend of environmentalism and climate change in mind she set of and began looking into eco-friendly philosophies to design  portraits made entirely of unwanted objects. Since 2008, she's expanded her recycling technique to make portraits using buttons, toys, plastic forks or anything else she found in other peoples trash.

She was inspired by the Ecuadorian hairstylists, who are known to use broken jewelry and other shiny objects in their designs.
