Roy Lewis: Latest commission

Roy Lewis was recently commissioned to create a Bull's head by a local restaurant in Heswall, Beef Grill and Bar. He created it from exhausts, re-enforcing bars, flat sheet of metal salvaged from a friend's old cooker, a suzuki bandit brake disc, a landrover con-rod big end, some subaru gears, Ford Thunderbird bumper bolts, Yamaha RD350Lc exhausts....and the parts list goes on...

Hoping we will get something along these lines for de-junk, re-junk 2013 in the Williamson Art Gallery in Birkenhead

de-junk goes to the World Museum Liverpool

Paris aged 6 - de-junks!

From Gill

"This is what Paris and I made this afternoon. I was using sewing machine and he wanted to make something. He went through bag of fabric samples and picked the ones he liked, he found the piece of elastic embroidery from Madeline and decided he wanted that on front, he wanted to try all the different stitches on sewing machine and had a go with posh scissors!!!

I love it, it's tatty, functional, beautiful and made by my boy, aged 6 xx"

Wonderful - keep making!

de-junk, re-junk 2012 closed

Unfortunately, the lovely article in Wirral News said we were ending on the 22nd of July but we actually closed on Friday at 4.30pm, so for all those who have shown up today, here is Margi Adam's piece made from cans.

David Jones's is at home in the exhibition - one more week to go

David Jones has a background in science, technology and an un-fufilled interest in architecture. The construction of miniature buildings is one part of the artist's portfolio.

The main 'structural' material for David's buildings is cereal packaging which is laminated to form a material comparable to pulp-board. Much of the construction is in laminated layers to produce details such as doors and windows. These are also from recycled materials. The buildings are finished with brick papers, water-based paints and match sticks for some details.
