Artist K. S. Brenowitz will talk about their journey upcycling trash into whimsical robots and how you can add trash to your own artwork.
Artist K. S. Brenowitz was passionate about recycling, but quickly became frustrated when they realized how few everyday items were actually being recycled. They began working to find ways to incorporate un-recycleable items into art, and have been creating robots, collages, and plarn (plastic yarn) out of trash ever since.
During this lecture, Brenowitz will talk about their process for turning bottle caps, foil wrappers, old clothes, and discarded Mardi Gras beads into art. They will also be exhibiting their "trash robot" sculptures and upcyled collages.
This talk will take place on the A-Level of the Martin Luther King Jr. Library. In-person seating is limited, so be sure to sign up at bit.ly/labsclasses. ASL interpretation will be provided. This lecture will also be streamed live to DC Public Library's YouTube channel.
