“Project Greenway,” as it came to be known, was one of the most engaging art competitions in the Design Center Gallery’s installments.
From sculptures of robots to earrings, purses and paintings, found items were given a second chance.

Made from found objects provide by the art committee. First come, grab it and run! I grabbed what I could. It does light up with something that color and trim used. A sort of strobe light on paper. It also sits on a wire basket (not shown).

Sadly, my work was hung up in customs and wasn't shown. They kind of held it hostage, kept hiking the fees? I have to say it was very disappointing, but a whole lot of lessons learned. Next time I'll  know how to ship where customs doesn't gouge you..

  1. I am pleased to know about this Exhibition and grateful that you shared it here. Just a week ago I have been to a similar event at local event space for a party. It was so much fun and I learnt many new things there as well.

  2. Thanks Mark, It was at the GM tech center, not really open to the public. Which was kind of a bummer, so this way at least my friends got to see the show. Thanks for browsing.
