Kinkade Recycled (Mountain Retreat)
"This 8 by 5 foot wall hanging is comprised of approximately 40,000 pieces of junk mail, folded and string bundled into 2 inch cubes to create colored pixels. The arrangement of square paper bundles depicts an idealized scene of human’s relationship to nature (based on a painting by Thomas Kinkade). The minute collection of junk mail used to create “pixels” of the image suggests that the earth’s resources are not being used as bucolically as we might like to think. The process was completed over a period of about five months and involved several wonderful helpers! After being shown at the University Gallery in Cambridge, MA the piece was expanded to 10 x 6 feet in order to complete the entire landscape composition." - Amanda Nelsen
