the next time you spot someone digging through the trash, you might think twice before judging...
artist erik otto takes the motto reduce, reuse, recycle completely to heart when creating his masterpieces. finding tossed-away treasures from the dumps of san francisco, erik creates his art entirely from discarded and found materials. proving he's utterly dedicated, he moved his studio to the dump for the past four months. there, he sifted through the thrown out junk and made numerous works worthy of being treasured. the works were all a part of recology, an initiative that's focused on reminding and educating people about recycling and conserving resources through artistic expression using found materials.
