The Art of Reuse: Found Object Magnets with Scott Rolfe
Join us as we meet and create with artist Scott Rolfe. He will lead participants through making a found object magnet using the art form of assemblage. As an assemblage is created with whatever materials that catches the artists eye or holds meaning, Scott invites participants to bring any small objects they might also like to use in the composition.
Rolfe looks for possibilities in the discarded: broken household appliances, rusty metal, forgotten toys. By combining, rearranging, and altering these objects, they come to life with their own unique personalities. His subjects range from eccentric animals to complex shadow box constructions that harken back to the early twentieth century.
Scott is a Maine-born artist who has lived in Austin, Texas for over 20 years. He works in various media, primarily focusing on assemblage, in which found objects are recycled and repurposed into new artworks. Learn more about Scott and his art at http://srolfe.com/
Austin Creative Reuse will provide a series of workshops focused on creating art using reclaimed materials. The hands-on workshops will consist of meeting a featured local artist, learning about his/her art form, and creating an individual or group project.
