Trash Artistry

Share this TrendEmailthis TrendShare This Trend
Garbage used in art combines consumerism with environmental consciousness


Implications - An increasing number of artists are using trash as the chosen medium to create unique, fascinating installations. Using garbage within design gives a subtle nod towards mass consumerism while putting a twist on the concept of upcycling and greener living. This combination of creativity and re-purposing will show the eco-conscious consumer a new, more free-spirited side of going green.
