LEED SCULPTOR
 |
Dwayne Bass turns trash into treasure. He re-purposes discarded items (rebar, bolsters, mangled dowel baskets used to support concrete flooring, scraps of wood) and turns them into sculptures, signs, and pieces of art. Here he shows the sign he made for the new Georgia Organics location (next to Alice Rolls, executive director of Georgia Organics). The tin in the sign came from a barn roof from Burge Plantation in Mansfield, Ga. The wood came from a collapsed barn in Gray, Ga. Dwayne, who calls his company TWOvital, got his first break in reclaimed art a couple years ago when he made a sculpture for Commonwealth Braselton, an industrial building in Braselton. Dwayne tells us the sculpture won the developer, Commonwealth Properties, a point toward LEED certification. |
