"We have so many different creations, from dresses made out of coffee filters to a coffin made out of old wood. It's very diverse. Some are more abstract, while others are found objects," says program coordinator Krystyna Farquhar. "The goal of the show is twofold: One is to promote recycling, because of the impact on our environment and our planet. The other is to see how what's thought of as useless trash can be refashioned as fine art."
