Recycled newspaper art by Kenneth Wood evolves what's perceived as garbage to a whole new meaning. This upcycled artwork no longer holds the old "arts and craft" look, but rather appears to be museum-quality, modern art made from mundane, recycled newspaper.
These unique designs create geographic, aquatic and astral worlds that resonate with the spirit, stimulate the imagination and evoke mystery and wonder. Waste is transformed into beauty with these works, but the story doesn't stop there. The basic elements of these unique wall sculptures are handmade by and financially support a group of Latin American young adults who are physically and/or mentally challenged.
