A New Life

Nick Gentry creates beautiful pieces of art by using bits and pieces of media that are fading out of our existence. Gentry brings new life to decaying objects such as floppy discs and vhs tapes. Viewing Gentry’s art also brings up the idea of reusing things that we may at first see as garbage. So before you go to throw something out first think of all the uses that it may still have.

“Reusing objects can negate the need for waste, with a new function that also often has more charm than that of the original. Seeing art produced in this way can encourage a more creative approach to everyday objects that are deemed to be obsolete or useless. What brings the overall concept to life is that blend of the nostalgic and familiar, together with the freshness of a new form of expression.” –Gentry
