My last article I had written about was about turning something that otherwise had no real use into a masterpiece; well for this week's blog I came across something else that has been turned into a masterpiece by Cherri Miele. That something else is driftwood. Like me, you probably don't know what driftwood is. Driftwood is the broken pieces of wood that are found washed up on a beach or riverbank and also can be found floating in the river or sea.Cherri Miele scours the beaches of her hometown of Baltimore, Maryland for days or even weeks trying to collect as much driftwood as she can for her new pieces. She says "There is so much beauty here in this old wood. I hunt for weeks for it. I feel good about using sustainable goods in my artwork, and I'm so inspired by nature."
When you look at one of her works of art you can't help but wonder where this wood has been. It might have been to places that you yourself had never even heard of. That's why I think that people find her pieces so unique and even amazing. To sum it up, I think that this relates to class because it's just another way to turn something useless into something amazing.
