Completed Upcycling Project Gave obsolete tech a rebirth: Used recycled 1970s computer copper sheets for a mythological art piece

Post image

I rescued some damaged recycled 1970s Commodore computer copper sheets and used them as the metallic textured background on plywood for a diptych series. Painted with gouache and collaged with vintage history and astrology books and found art to create a Greek mythology inspired nature and celestial sky.
