Fine Art Fridays
Annabuilt.com features sculpted birds made from old metal tins and cans. I can only assume Anna is the artist’s name. The sculptures are just lovely. And though sometimes she buys her cans from the grocery store it seems most come from the trash or thrift stores. It’s amazing to me how organic man-made “junk” can be made to feel. I’m a big fan of real birds, and these make me almost as happy. via: HAUTE*NATURE
Fine Art Fridays
Though I’m worried that my crazy schedule may interfere I’ve decided to try doing a weekly feature, Fine Art Fridays. I’ll tell you a little bit about an eco-artist and provide some links. You’ll expand your knowledge. The artist’s featured will get extra publicity. Everybody wins.
A good place to visit if you’re interested in eco-art is the Environmental Art Museum. Or just check back on Fridays to see if a new artist has been featured.
Lynne Hull gets to be first!
Lynne Hull was raised in New Mexico, and now lives in Colorado. She makes what she calls “trans-species art, sculptures contributing to wildlife habitat. [She] want [sic] to make a positive gesture toward the earth and express [her] concerns for nurturance of other species and endangered lifecycles.” Some of her earlier works include islands for creatures (such as turtles) to utilize, as well as roosts for raptors to nest upon (see below).
To learn more about Lynne Hull and her innovative eco-art visit her website, or the Green Museum.
