Seeing this booth was like walking into a living Dr. Seuss / Rube Goldberg display. Brass instruments, copper piping and elegant metalwork spiraled outward, propelled by water. Master Recycler and Artist Douglas Walker was also there, happy to exchange wry comments and discuss the sculptures. If you have a garden patio or yard in need of a feature, you should really check these out. (Visit waterworksgardenart.com) Ex-brass-musicians and band geeks will enjoy them even more.
Green Briefs Marketing Thoughts: I’d love to see some of Walker’s work with wind-powered or solar-powered components. (And who knows, maybe he has some) He might also want to talk with Endless Rain about incorporating his sculptures into their in-ground water capture and storage systems.

Sustainable art is an interesting concept. Recycling found objects into assemblage art has been around practically for ever. Many of the objects that I incorporate into my sculptures are scooped out of the bin just before they head for melt down. Reusing a tuba or a French horn that has lived out a useful musical life in a sculpture maintains its exquisite form and continues its use as a work of art.
Cheers, Douglas Walker
