In this eco inspired project,
Jenny collected fallen tree branches and discarded objects from friends
(such as toys, costume jewelry, left over craft supplies and goody bag items)
for the students to repurpose into beautiful sculptural mobiles. Jenny made a
point to note with the students that what is someone else’s trash may often be another’s treasure. She encouraged students to think about donating unwanted items so that an object’s life
span may continue with someone else, rather than end up in the trash. What we love about the finished sculptures is that they provide a potent contrast
between the natural and the man made and force us to consider
deeper meanings, such as natural vs. manufactured beauty; excessive consumerism
vs. conservation; and timelessness vs. trends.
