Johnston Foster: One Man's Trash, Another Man's Treasure


Johnston Foster lives and works in Virginia, where he frequently can be found strolling highway medians, alleyways and garbage dumpsters for discarded objects and potential materials for his work. His signature style is to create large scale sculptures from the
detritus cast away for his reclaim that encapsulate themes of social unrest, impending chaos, and the dark side of human empirical tendencies.  He has shown widely in the United States and Europe, and his lecture will focus on his sculpture, installations and his process involved in their creation.



Here are some photos of the event:
