Shaved Portions
The newest public art display in the Garment District by artist Chakaia Booker. You can learn more about the artist and this work here: garmentdistrict.nyc/shaved-portions
What I love about her work is this:
"utilizing repurposed materials, Booker transforms used and discarded rubber materials found on city streets, repair shops and dumps into elaborate sculptures. Through slicing, twisting, and weaving tires into radically new forms and textures,"
Her sculptures are made from used tires. What an exhausting material with which to work but she does it masterfully.
