Assemblage Series

1999-2010

From Zac's website: "I started making assemblage artworks of this type in 1999. The artworks are made entirely out of collected junk, found objects, and general trash. I glue the bits of junk to a wooden substrate to form an image, usually faces, which only can be seen at a distance. I was interested in communicating through visual representation in apparent 2-dimensional space and through the actual objects used for the medium in 3-dimensional space. It is very important to me that I incorporate the actual objects into the art as opposed to a picture or rendition of it because it better expresses the intention of the artwork. I feel the junk is more powerful being present. It is an actual thing to be reckoned with that existed in this time and place and carries energy in and of itself."

This is an artform I already know and love. Ever since I began this type of art, my neighbors think I'm cleaning the streets, (which I do, I just don't throw everything away anymore), And I love anything rusty.

Your work is stunning and so inspiring I had to leave a comment. I currently have a show in Lisk Gallery, boise idaho... with my recycled vhs tape sculptures. I crocheted the tape into large vessels and abstract shapes. Still trying to come up with a project to use all the parts from inside. Do you need any junk? I am a big fan instantly, keep up the amazing work.

Recycled Glass Bottle Inspiration. Much of the glass we throw out is not recycled, because different glass has different melting points, and recyclers only melt the most common containers. To reuse your old glass, all you need is access to a kiln and some glass bottles.
