Maybe we should call this recycling on a higher level. Haha. I’m laughing. It’s Saturday, so please enjoy yourself.
Using the last remains of joints, visual artist Cliff Maynard arranges the ends of roach papers into these magical works of art. Originally a student at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Cliff originally was introduced to the art through his study of mosaics, “I was studying mosaics in school, and I just remember sort of making this connection in my head between the tiles and roach papers.” From there, Cliff set out to create his portraits by cutting up the roaches into little pieces of paper, and reorganizing them by shade and size to form his portraits. Peculiar and extraordinary.
