She collects, heats, cuts, melts, drill holes into and reshapes PET bottles. She thinks that the real solution is “upcycling” rather than plain recycling. Her aim is to substitute with labour and artistic value the characteristics that the material loses during transformation, thus obtaining a product of higher value.

She believes that in the future there will be a plastic material that will not proceed from the cradle to the grave, but that will return to the cradle with no loss, thus giving rise to a new plastic material, that this will “determine the way shapes are created” and that the real problem will not be recycling, and not even upcycling, but “karmic compensation”. In other words she believes that there will be a better world.

ANDES

Recycled Into Art: “Ms. Sommerhoff is one of those artists who regard trash not as an eye sore but as a golden opportunity. One can see through the bright paint of her wall reliefs and recognize the plastic foam packing material, which forms the matrix for sculpture” writes the NY Times about Herrat.

TableTops

About her ArtWorks she says: “The materials used in my art work come out of trash bins, from roadsides and the local dump. They were used in schools (milk cartons), businesses (styrofoam and cardboard) – for packing and storage, as well as in our homes. The materials are symbolic of our time, and I am utilizing it while it is still around and before something different will take their place in the future”.

We ca only add: amazing style, great talent.

Lorenzo

“For the Love of God” is the collection created by Lorenzo Busato within a school project based on the study of ethnicity as opposed to a theme of breaking. The research began with the analysis of the clothing of an ancient people, the Ainu, who settled in the Japanese archipelago between the XII and the XI BC. Dresses volumes and geometric sculptures are made in parallel to the study and research of Damien Hirst’s art works.

“The collection was made following a search of my own alternative materials” says Lorenzo ” which I pass on the conceptual idea I had for creating the head. Shapes and volumes, and in particular the location of the photo sets, recall the works and concepts of Hirst. I used the garden pvc tablecloths, a polka-dot printed out the grounds, while other fabrics I have recreated the graphics in vector drawing and then printing at home on canvas with the film transfers the Zebra and Virgin Mother. Yet the masks are handmade, cardboard, through a series of folds have developed a texture of origami.
