Got Art?

I found some interesting artist profiles in the one and only book at the local university library on art with recycled/found/discarded materials.  It’s called Raw+Material=Art. 

I will spare you the epic tale of the guy who makes wolf sculptures out of dust found in the Paris metro.  (No, I did not make that up.  See page 218.)  I did find some cool and inspiring stuff, though.

For example, I found some pages on Rosemarie Fiore who does art with explosives.  Seriously.  Fireworks=explosives. I don't like fireworks, but I thought the concept was super-cool.   (Her website is here.)
