Jewelry from Junk

Nita Mehnert is one fonky chick! Check out the art she makes from trash such as this necklace , made from 100 year old pieces of broken stained glass windows!

As an artist and a woman, I see my work as a statement about the human condition, specifically, what it means to be a woman today. I feel it is my responsibility to draw attention to the state of the world we all must live in, a world often drowning in its own refuse, both in terms of human misery and discarded waste. Some of her works display a sense of humor, pointing out the absurd in our everyday lives, while others delve into a darker side. Fanciful reconstructions from refuse derive from her ability to see everything as grist for the art mill, even mundane objects. That's cool. Visit the Copperhead Gallery Here!
