Handcrafting each work from start to finish, the result is highly textured and intricately detailed art pieces and collages that can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months to complete. “I like to spend time reminiscing on the past while flipping through the pages of decades forgotten magazines, intently searching for the perfect shape, color, or texture within a periodical’s pages to add to my archive of collage elements,” writes Geiman on his website, reflecting on his creative process.

“I decided on the medium of collage because I didn’t have money to buy ‘proper’ supplies like fancy brushes or even canvas when I first started out,” he explains. “The paper I used then and still use today comes from abandoned spaces – old farmhouses, burned down buildings, abandoned gas stations, and the like.”

Multilayered and rich in narrative, his artwork weaves tales of foregone eras and untamed wilderness – landscapes, scenery, and characters that are inspired by the world he grew up in. “I grew up on a farm, caught crickets and bailed hay, painted with mud, dug up civil war relics, listened to midnight mockingbirds,” writes Geiman poetically. “These are the ingredients of life that have stuck with me and have built the foundation for the artwork I set forth into the world.” 

Below are some highlights from his Instagram page.

“It began with a curiosity into how I could transform general everyday waste plastic into a new material through alternative processing methods,” she explained the idea behind her line of furniture in an interview with Upcyclist. “I shifted from looking at everyday plastics and decided to focus on industrial waste streams, as I hoped for scalability and more unexpected material inputs.”

With a hands-on approach, Kidger went on to explore the possibilities of using secondary raw materials to create innovative and exciting new outcomes with a core focus on materiality. Using a wide range of traditional techniques and processes, her materials are reengineered and revalued to reveal their future potential and use.

“Each piece has a balance between form and function and can be perceived by the viewer as pieces of art or functional products,” says Kidger. They also make for a pretty powerful statement regarding our use and misuse of plastic waste.

Dominic Ciambrone – better known as  The Shoe Surgeon seemed to always have an affinity for slicing and dicing rare editions of shoes, which made him somewhat of an Instagram celebrity with over 676,000 followers so far.  

His shop is in Los Angeles and there you can either buy his original designs or come up with your own, of course – if you have the cash to spare.  Imagine your wildest dreams, a combination of fusion that seems logical only in your head. Dream it – he can make it – dreamier!  

Dominic is actually so good at what he does that he is even offering training courses for young people who want to follow his footsteps and become shoe surgeons themselves.

“I’m trying to sanitise the environment – and as well sensitise the people.” Says Earnest.

Earnest has been turning old tyres into sculptor for seven years. He gets his ideas on what to work on from what he has already worked on. At one time, he worked on a crocodile and it greatly motivated him to work on more animals.

His love to recycle trash and turn into incredible art is not only mind blowing but also inspiring. He easily finds his material within his neighborhood and loves the fact that his talent helps to sanitize the environment.

In his spare time, he sensitizes the community about the usefulness of the tyre material. Although he has worked on several animal figures, he is trying to work on animal sculptors.

His prayer is his work to be recognized beyond Nigeria and Africa. He also wishes to hold international exhibitions.
