THE GREEN SHOW – Recycle, Repurpose, Reuse
Arts Council of Greater Kalamazoo Gallery, Epic Center – September 2011Working with a GREEN point of view, seventeen Kalamazoo area artists investigated how this might
impact their work. Many have looked to found objects as a source of materials and inspiration.
Others are recycling work that they created earlier in their career.
Still others are inspired by objects found in nature. Show Statement.

Pat Ex,
Found Object Sculpture
I love working with found metal pieces and giving them a new purpose.
Really, what could be more fun than scouring junkyards, flea markets, auctions, antique shows, barn sales, my mechanic's discards, neighbor farms and my friends for cool metal treasurers that I get to weld together?
