Prompt for Artists: How does your work connect with the theme of the exhibition? How do you reuse, recycle, repurpose, and reclaim materials and/or ideas in your creative practice? How does your work (re)imagine a sustainable future? Please include 75-100 words along with your submission. We will include this brief statement on the label for your work.
A further elaboration of the Prompt: Do you destroy old works and incorporate them into new work? Do you use art materials that have been given to you that might otherwise end up in a landfill? Do you re-purpose things lying around your home or studio? Do you revisit old ideas or half-finished work?
