Artist Name: Sheri Rice 

Artist Statement: In the harmonious spirt of art and recycling, my work is a combination of the unexpected, created from materials wherever I find them. This way of collecting and working allows me the continuous creative adventure of seeking and finding, then the excitement of putting it all together. Robert Rauschenberg values the "inherent usefulness and dignity of all materials" and I agree with him wholeheartedly as I create art from the discards of others. Kurt Schwitters said: "My palette is the waste basket of the world". I like to think that my work draws from the overlooked wealth of the world, both artistically and environmentally, as I rescue small bits of urban life, past and present, while practicing the ultimate art of recycling.
