Eye candy at Pittsburgh International Airport goes beyond airplanes this fall. Artist Nancy Judd’s recycled trash fashions will be on display today through December 31.
Six pairs of shoes can be found in Concourse C, including lacy shoes made recycled office paper. Two outfits will be in Concourse D.
Junk mail and how to reduce it is the theme of the exhibit, Judd says.
She likes to display her educational works at airports because of the large, broad audience she reaches.
Recycle Runway creations also include a vintage bathing suit decorated with colourful 2 HDPE post-consumer plastic from detergent bottles (pictured) and a 1950s-style cocktail dress adorned with rusty nails.
While the bathing suit isn’t at Pittsburgh, you can catch it at Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson International Airport starting in July 2009. Twenty looks will be on display in Concourse E for 12 months. Recycle Runway moves to Orlando International Airport in 2010.
