"Fire and Ice" in Recycled Art exhibit in Northern Virginia

The jurors for The Recycled Art Exhibition at Northern Virginia Community College accepted my piece "Fire and Ice: How Will the World End?" for the current show at the Verizon gallery in Annandale Virginia.  The show runs through November 17th 2013.  One of the criteria for acceptance was that artwork must be composed of a minimum of 75% recycled materials.  The NOVA Green Club at NVCC is very active in promoting the message of "Reduce, Reuse,& Recycle". I am very happy to contribute to this effort!

This piece includes lava rock from Iceland, a paper ring from a floral decoration,broken pottery, recycled game blocks, tree bark, photographs, burned paper, melted plastic and a metal keyhole.
