‘
The prospect of using rejected optical lenses
was an inspiring opportunity to explore the
potential of creating sculpture from waste
materials. Using items that would otherwise
become landfill to make art can become a catalyst
to increase environmental awareness. Taking
the discarded optical lenses out of their normal
context to create an object of interest and beauty
can prompt the viewer to consider the possibilities
’
of reusing or recycling unwanted objects.
