From the press release:
Nancy Judd may never have made a silk purse from a sow’s ear, but give her a roll of crime-scene tape, a stack of junk mail or some rusty nails and she’ll use her creative powers to transform that trash into runway-worthy haute couture.
Judd, an internationally recognized public artist, environmental educator and founder of Recycle Runway based in Santa Fe, N.M., uses her inventive “trashion” designs as a hook to get people to pay attention to how everyday choices and thoughtless throw-away practices can negatively impact the planet. Judd’s quirky, yet often elegant, eco-fashions have been exhibited throughout the world. In March 2014, she will bring both her fashions and her environmental message to Champaign-Urbana audiences as the Hatch Creative-Reuse Art Festival’s Visiting Artist-in-Residence.
