Bust of a Dumpster Diva

Title
Bust of a Dumpster Diva
Artist
Douglas Fromm
Medium
Sculpture - Assemblage Sculpture
Description
I rescued a headless mannequin from a dumpster, and being a Glue Artist I could not resist covering her with a vast assortment of “RoadKill” found objects and buttons and beads from yard sales. Gold and Silver acrylic paint were used to cover the ivory white fiberglass skin of the mannequin.

Hi Douglas…I like your image. Pretty cool stuff…Maybe I should dumpster dive?…Cheers Bob fv
Douglas Fromm replied:
Thanks, Bob….there are two versions of dumpster diving - those unfortunate citizens who are searching for food and clothing, and people like myself who recycle salvageable furniture or “ found objects” for ART….I never climb inside, just cherry pick off the top..

A well accessorized diva indeed and as usual, your clever play on words in the title made me smile.

Recycle - reuse - make better! Wonderful art.
Douglas Fromm replied:
Thank you, Sharon....I have been recycling found paper Images into collages for 50 years, so it just seemed natural to recycle 3D found objects as well !
