More than 50 artists whose art transcends its humble origins have been selected for the 11th anniversary of Art from Detritus, an exhibit of art transforming society’s discards into unique objects of inspiration, admiration and desire. Some rely on whatever crosses their path to recycle into art, others collect specific stuff or by accident in their odyssey of creative transformation: carving, gluing, painting, nailing, shredding, scraping, dipping, covering, layering, arranging until the viewer wishes she had thought of that.
