The Art Of Green

Since caveman first made his mark on his cave wall until today’s more modern walls covered in graffiti, man has always endeavored to immortalize himself through the expression of art forms.

I know, I know you say you are not artistically inclined. Believe me when I tell you this. Not all the recycled items I found on the web for sale were created by experts in the field. These items were put together by average people who had the ability to see beauty in the simpilest of things.

Color is a very important component in the art world and like all things has evolved, and so have the products to produce color. Weather it be ink or paint we are slowly becoming aware of the influences that it has on the environment and its people. So as it seems once again we are reverting to natural components to achieve color. For many years we used plants, berries, wood, insects and mineral deposits to create our colors and those things still work today when combined with some of the newer methods of delivery.

It’s unfortunate that in today’s world so many rugs are made with synthetic fabrics on electronic looms to supply the masses. But on the brighter side there are still artisans out there, that use wool died with naturally made dyes and weave them in the old way, on a hand operated loom. Expensive yes, but worth every penny. So next time you have a need for such an item, check out the naturally made products and save a little piece of the earth.

Architecture has taken many turns over the years, from the log cabin to the skyscraper. Most were not too environmentally friendly, gracefully beautiful though they might be. Now that we have found a need to preserve power, we have invented new ways to create not only beauty but also ways to incorporate what nature has given us into our buildings. We harness the sun’s power to create electricity via solar panels, use the wind in the same manner and recycle our rain and wastewater as well as the use of recycled materials to build our eco-friendly homes.

Many new materials for carpet, blankets and clothes are not at all friendly to our environment. But fortunately we have seen the light in that respect also, and many more naturally occurring materials are finding their way into our lives and onto our walls and floors.

While searching the Internet for recycled artwork I ran across lots of beautiful things to adorn ones home. Old rescued mirrors framed with shells or sculptures welded together from chunks of metal salvaged from other projects. But the one thing that sticks in my mind was art by Mark Fischer, who by trade is an audio technologist. He has recycled aquatic animal sounds and translated them into beautifully colored patterns to adorn the finest of walls.
