Artist of the Day (Recycled) / Paula Mccullough / Texas

Posted on May 23, 2012 by destructivetesting

I’m ‘recycling’ Paula because she was one of my first AOD’s, and no one was looking at my blog yet. Her art comes closest to my own in terms of appreciation of the beauty of ‘junk’, particularly metal. “I am … Continue reading →

Artist of the Day / Mirek Gomolka / Vancouver BC, Canada

Posted on May 22, 2012 by destructivetesting

Mirek makes some of the most unique, original, interesting, beautiful jewelry I’ve ever seen. I’m going to see if there is anything (besides money) that I can trade him for a pair of his earrings! “I live and work in … Continue reading →

Making It / Paul Barbera / New York City

Posted on May 12, 2012 by destructivetesting

I’m posting a link to Paul’s site because he has done something like what I’m trying to do with my Making It category. But, he has been photographing artist’s whole environments, and has had a book published showing these! “Where … Continue reading →

Artist of the Day / Alisa Hamilton / Ontario, Canada

Posted on April 28, 2012 by destructivetesting

I love Alisa’s jewelry, and particularly her use of non-traditional recycled e-waste. “Clone Hardware was inspired by the constant influx of computer hardware and electronic devices that have entered our lives and sadly departed as well.” “One day I stumbled … Continue reading →

Artist of the Day / Dix Cutler

Posted on April 1, 2012 by destructivetesting

I like Dix’s work a lot because she doesn’t finish the silver off so much as to take all the ‘life’ out of it. She uses a process called ‘reticulating’ to leave some surface markings on it. “I create artisan … Continue reading →
