I apologize to those of you out there in cyberspace for my miss yesterday, so I am trying to make up for a lost day today. Fortunately, I have so many artists to chose from that it was not hard to find an endless supply of amazing art. This last artist Jean Shin is one of my favorites. Her work does not have an environmental theme but her use of found or collected objects to create these incredibly beautiful sculpture installations.
Her work focuses on giving new life to these disregarded items as a symbol to the optimism of giving to life to life's so called leftovers. Most of her items are donated from old medicine bottles, umbrellas, clothes, to losing lottery tickets. She works site specifically creating a dialogue with the people and the space. Through her installations she wants the audience to create their own dialogue with the work about their own history and relationship to the materials.
