Odds and ends have new life in artist's hands
Sloane Bibb reuses found objects in his artwork
1031-GO-Bibb-artword
Gears, bingo markers and parts from an International Harvester tractor gain new life as sunflowers in the art of Sloane Bibb, whose work is on display through Nov. 30 at the Piedmont College Mason-Scharfenstein Museum of Art in Demorest.
In the world of Sloane Bibb, a license plate can become a goldfinch and a Chevrolet hood ornament can be a belt buckle. The Decatur, Ala., artist is known for taking found objects and advertising ephemera and converting them into three-dimensional art evoking both a sense of nostalgia and humor. A collection of Bibb’s work is on display now through Nov. 30 at the Piedmont College Mason-Scharfenstein Museum of Art.
