Bage
the artist
Bage is a 34 year old artist who resides in New York City. She owns a
small studio apartment in which she creates exceptional pieces created
from recycled goods. Her location, 20 minutes out of New Jersey,
allows her to shop for "new materials" frequently in the landfills and
junkyards. She truly feels that one mans waste is another mans
fortune.
the art
After years of hearing about saving the earth from her
environmentalist father, a vegan man who didn't drive cars or use
anything that was not recycled, Bage became an artist. Following in
her father's footsteps she used her art to convey the idea about ones
efforts to save the world. Through her brilliant pieces, Bage uses any
sort of garbage, wasted materials, any sort of junk and reuses it in a
masterpiece.
the beret
Bage's Beret is an old fishing cap that she found at a garage
sale. Hanging off are numerous paintbrushes, ropes, and interesting
things that she has found on her latest trips to the junkyard. The
junkyard is her own personal art supply store.
