Item Description
This one-of-a-kind serving tray is fashioned from a "recycled" traffic sign - "EDUCATION OFFICE" by noted artist Boris Bally.
Boris Bally’s award-winning work is both witty and innovative employing the use of jeweler’s skills on non-precious materials. His current body of work transforms recycled street signs, weapon parts, and a wide variety of found materials into objects for reflection. These pieces celebrate raw American street-aesthetic in the form of objects, often useful, for the home and the body.
From the artist's website, "I bring decades of training and experience as an artist to this collection of pieces. Until I began experimenting with recycled traffic signage, nobody had seen the potential elegance of this discarded aluminum. Signage has become my passionate medium of choice not only because of the recycling message, but also its appeal to me as an extreme variation on the age-old tradition of enameling."
Item Special Note
This piece measures approximately 17" in diameter.
The winning bidder will need to make arrangements to pick up the item at the offices of the Rhode Island Zoological Society or provide payment for shipping charges.
