About this Event
“Talking Trash: A Junk Art Exhibition,” features two Arizona artists Shari Keith and Claire Ploppet Johnson, who utilize found objects to create vibrant contemporary pieces of art. Being environmentally conscious, these artists manipulate discarded material into new and exciting compositions, showing that just about anything can be transformed into a work of art. Using common day objects, such as buttons, sunglasses, and stones, Keith creates patterns allowing the viewer to see beyond the objects intended purpose. Ploppet Johnson, on the other hand, uses scraps of glass, broken mirrors, and road signs to show that even broken items can be repurposed to create something whole. In “Talking Trash: A Junk Art Exhibition,” Keith and Ploppet Johnson definitely let the trash do the talking, allowing us to see the world around us in a new light.
