We are all about recycling here in Brooklyn. So when we see art installations that involve the beloved deed of giving back to good ol’ Mother Nature, we are more than excited. Finnish artist, Kaarina Kaikkonen chooses second-hand clothing as her preferred and most used medium, and has for over 20 years. A lot of her work involves suspended clothes lines that grandiosely grace public spaces. A welcome intrusion to everyday mundanity, her installations usually find themselves around the streets and buildings of Finland, but also in fields, streets, and galleries around Europe. The pieces transform unassuming streets and add new spirit and liveliness where ever they are.

Here, take a look for yourself….
