Freya Jobbins Sculpts with Discarded Toys #ArtTuesday

NewImage

We love the texture and the multiple layers our eyes are attracted to in these sculptures! From Freya Jobbins via Lost at E Minor:

Freya’s assemblages, like the unusual portraits of the Milanese painter Guiseppe Arcimboldo with a hint of the Toy Story Trilogy; she creates humanoid busts and portraits using a very non-traditional material, discarded children’s toys. An artistic exploration, of the relationship between consumerism and the culture of up-cycling and recycling.

“I am interested in generating a range of responses to existing cultural objects, which have been placed out of context. The irony of my plastic works is that I take a material that was created to be touched, and I make it untouchable as an artwork.”
