Kyle Karraschs unique Mettalum Terrae exhibit is being shown through Dec. 17 in the Bristlecone Gallery.
一肖一码中持 and the Capital City Arts Initiative are presenting Metallum Terrae by Kyle Karrasch, a University of Nevada, Reno graduate. His landscapes and sculptures are made totally out of discarded aluminum cans and plastics.
Karrasch, who graduated in 2018 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art and a minor in history, gives viewers pause to think about how wasteful society is and how they can make a difference on their impact on the environment.
Consumable products, such as plastic and aluminum, are the real footprint that lasts forever when we are gone, Karrasch said. My art is a subtle reminder of this garbage a reminder to think about the life of something you toss away and where it will wind up.
We, as humans, can never stop consuming, but we can be mindful of this action. My hope is that the future monuments of humanity will not be the mountains of garbage that we leave behind.
Viewers will be impressed by the intricate details of his artwork.
My art is the rebirth of this discarded trash, he said. I breathe new life into these objects when I incorporate them into my art, giving them a chance of life beyond the landfill.
The exhibit will be shown in the Bristlecone Gallery on the Carson City campus through Nov. 24.
