“Who Did This?”

In this instructable I describe how I reclaimed an item that was going to be thrown away… In fact I actually placed it in the trash, but returned to retrieve it after realizing its artistic value. The frame and background were also salvaged from rubbish piles.

Here is the main piece... Retrieved from the garbage,
flattened, and mounted.

I tried to describe the artwork as best I could…

The description was printed on cardstock, and mounted on a
pyramid of the background material. This not only showcased the physical complexity of the base, but it pressed the text against the glass, making it easier to read.

A piece of used plywood paneling was used to secure the
artwork in the frame.

Originally a photo of the artist was attached to the back of
the frame, but it was damaged by condensation from the garage freezer where this piece is displayed.
