2019 Six Week Spotlight
Rachael Juzeler
In her work, Juzeler highlights the beauty of discarded objects by reimagining their purpose and assembling them into strikingly beautiful works of art. ReConstructed ReFuse IV features a selection of chandeliers, wall pieces, mosaics, and a stunning “rust tapestry”. Each artwork is made from salvaged and “waste” materials, ranging from broken window glass and abandoned foundry blocks to reclaimed scrap wood and rusted metal shards. In her words: “My work reflects the lost history of Southeast Alaska, as well as incorporating waste and found materials from our throwaway society, acknowledging our past and our sense of place, while illuminating a path forward, presenting an alternative vision of how to deal with our waste moving into the future.”
