Matt Wilson is doing something really cool with found and recycled materials. He is making beautiful sculptures of animals, especially birds.
Each piece is created out of a love of nature and a desire to preserve the natural world and creatures around him. In his artist statement, he says, "Influenced by natural elements, my art is a reflection of the environment in which I live. Using organic and recycled materials - bone, driftwood,scrap metal, etc., my sculptures depict continuous life cycles that consciously and unconciously permeate our awareness. The upcycled work I create is a testimony to the belief of conserving and appreciating our resources, so that the environment in which we live will continue to be an environment in which we desire to live."
