Nancy Judd is a contemporary artist who uses found materials to create her work. That is nothing new, but where she gets her materials is unique She made an evening gown from used Obama-Biden campaign banners, and the dress ended up at the Inauguration!
Judd says, "One year, my art school got a new pop machine. The garbage can next to it grew with all the pop cans. Seeing them thrown out just seemed wrong. I put a recycling bin next to the pop machine. I started wondering: Where does trash go? Who picks it up? After that, my career path was in solid waste and recycling."
