July 28, 2010: Tucson's Recycled Critters

[xoxoxoBruce]

Nick Georgiou makes critters from recycled paper that are, um... different.
And rather than keep them cooped up in a stuffy gallery, he likes to take them on outings, to interact with the public and photograph people's reactions.

“I get a lot of double takes, some people stopping me even before I position the piece. Most people have mixed expressions, curiosity morphing into familiarity. At first, they aren’t sure what to make of it. Moving in for a closer look, most smile and say something like, ‘Is this made from newspaper?’ or ‘This is a book!’”

Sounds like fun.
