WEIRD & CREEPY - Cocoon Art Space
To celebrate Earth Day, Cocoon Art Space partnered with ArtRat Gallery and other business on South Division in downtown Grand Rapids. Together Cocoon and ArtRat hosted a group art exhibition that focused on pieces created from recycled materials. The show ran from March through April 2024.
In February 2023, I created three 8"x10” collage pieces using magazine clippings, tissue paper, foil, and string. They were featured at both galleries.
During this exhibit, the businesses involved also hosted a Recycled Art Fashion Show. I was a featured artist and model during the event, creating a dress out of paper shopping bags, Kraft paper from packages, corrugated cardboard, tissue paper from shoe boxes, string, and paper wrapping from toilet paper.
