While it seems slightly sacrilegious to smash old albums, Robi Walters and Leanne Wright are doing it for a rather pretty reason: they create incredible collages out of broken records.
Using different colored records, the team of Walters & Wright create wonderful album art, all of which is on display now in New York. Their work is a great way to find new beauty in an old classic.

While consumers push for cutting-edge design, they also seek vintage products with which they can create a nostalgic or personal relationship.
