REMAKE celebrates the inventiveness and resourcefulness of the creative and artistic mind.
This high quality exhibition brings to life the phrase ‘everything old is new again’. Working within the theme of recycling, upcycling, reusing, and repurposing, over 40 artists have viewed the world around them with fresh eyes and created exciting new works of art. Using discarded everyday and found objects, as well as taking inspiration from what we might normally regard as junk or garbage, the results are amazing. Each object featured is transformed from its former self to an intriguing, wonderful and sometimes barely recognisable creation from its original form.
This exhibition encourages us to consider our impact on the environment by bringing a little creativity into how we can prevent everyday items from being sent to landfill. There is a diverse and eclectic collection of work including a vast array of jewellery, wall art, sculpture, glass and textiles – plenty to enjoy when visiting. Some artists have worked from within their preferred specialist mediums, while others have moved into previously unexplored areas.
This show helps to highlight the importance of environmental conservation and sustainability.
