The Laughing Buddha
Exhibition by Angela Blasutti. I grew up with the value “waste not, want not”, which mostly meant being frugal, but as an adult, it evolved into an appreciation for our finite natural resources and a growing awareness of our consumerism. These beliefs have translated into upcycling materials and objects into my art, that would otherwise be thrown out. As a result, I mix unconventional materials such as leftovers from ceramics and manufacturing processes, discarded plastics, and natural elements, with more traditional mosaic materials such as glass and marble.
