Introduction:
In these times, our environment is in danger more than ever and we must do all we can to save it from further destruction. The evidence suggests that early art was created by artist/shamans who protected the hunt and blessed the harvest. The power of art continues to exist in our contemporary time, a world of machines and cybernetics, and this power continues to be available for us to implement it. Creating from the discarded materials as an alternative, however, is crucial — and the most responsible decision, to extend the use of materials and reduce the abuse of materials that require the destruction of the environment. Sculptors Alliance has the honor and privilege to be Vernita Nemec’s ally supporting the 20th Art From Detritus: “Up-cycling Detritus."
