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 Rebecca McGee Tuck
Please enjoy my conversation with Rebecca McGee Tuck. Rebecca and I had an IG live conversation back in April 2024, which became the impetus for this podcast. I thought it would be appropriate to start season two, and the New Year, with a proper interview with Rebecca. Rebecca is a fiber artist, sculptor and a dedicated ocean activist. Her artwork serves as a visual narrative, transforming discarded materials from our throw-away society into environmentally aware works of art. In her practice, Rebecca is rooted in the reuse of discarded materials, creating found object fiber sculptures that resonate with sustainability and environmental consciousness.
