ENVISION THIS: FROM LOST TO FOUND

Re.Imagine asks artists to create new work from lost and broken objects, breathing life into discarded natural and manufactured items. From a mosaic of shattered dinnerware to a landscape formed from rusted tools and broken instruments, take something damaged and find a renewed purpose through art.

This show is now on display at Re.Imagine Gallery and Studios until Oct. 7th.

Every piece currently on display is featured in the Online Gallery below. All pieces are for sale - if you are interested in any of the pieces below, please email reimagine.office@gmail.com for purchase information. Larger images are available upon request.
