“I work a lot with re-purposing objects through my art. Currently, I’ve been using animal themes and using recycled newspaper to make statements. I like that this is an international project and I will feel connected to thousands of other artists as I create my piece. Discarded hubcaps represent for me our misuse and overuse of cars over the past century, and how that dependency affects the environment and the sociology of our species and others.”Madeline Galbraith
