SALVAGE
Conversations with artists who use repurposed materials in their art practice.
SALVAGE is a podcast that celebrates creativity and sustainability through conversations with artists who turn discarded materials into powerful works of art. Each episode dives into their stories, techniques, and the deeper messages behind their work, showing how art can transform waste into beauty and inspire action against overconsumption and wastefulness.
It’s a space for exploring how creativity and mindfulness can help us reimagine our relationship with the planet—one repurposed piece at a time.

Conversation with Bonny Leibowitz
Please enjoy my conversation with Bonny Leibowitz. Here’s Bonny’s statement about her latest installation which I find very exciting. Her work embodies concepts of Post-naturalism — a perspective that questions the objectification of nature as pristine and separate from humans. The installations are simulacra of environmental stories, histories, and concepts of nature, all of which have been constructed and distorted by humans. Just as nature itself is hybridized and transformed by industry, so are the narratives we create. The installations serve as situations where the distinction between reality and representation breaks down, and the representation becomes a reality unto itself.
