Simply Salvage~ Life After ArtPrize... Clothing Matters is pleased to announce the return of Simply Salvage (SS10)--a "sustainability sweet spot"-- to our historic Blackport Building after 3 weeks at ArtPrize.
This
distinctly creative & thoughtful example of sustainable
construction was built on two timbers over the course of 4 months, of
90% salvaged materials, by Brent Ahmicasaube & Tad Caswell. Simply Salvage 10' is a livable work of art that offers an
opportunity
to experience ecological, cultural & historical dimensions of
sustainability. It evolved exquisitely in ways that respect nature and
reflect its principles of reuse, energy conservation, partnership &
interdependence.
The little "cottage" delighted ArtPrize visitors of all ages & backgrounds, many
returning several times to share its enchantment and brilliance. "I'd
like to live here" was probably the most common response, demonstrating
this project's capacity to elicit universal appeal of a simpler, less
consumptive life. 
SS10 invites us to consider what we really need &
what we really want. It raises
the bar of ingenuity, allowing us to see how aesthetic appeal and
function can be created with resources otherwise lost to landfills every
day. It brings the priceless value of history to life so we can experience, connect & dream. We invite you to visit, be touched by its charm, and moved to imagine purposeful action that delivers more value in a world worth preserving. It'll deliver a good dose of delight to you & yours!
