A Bold Artwork Experience

 

Lakeshore Recycling Systems (LRS) is among the nation’s leading privately-held waste diversion, recycling and portable services providers. After moving into a new office that was essentially a blank canvas, the need for artwork was apparent. The goal for this collection was to bring the space alive through image and color. Showcasing what LRS does in a unique way while paying homage to its roots in the city of Chicago was the challenge. Photo shoots of several waste diversion and recycling facilities served as the foundation for all of the pieces. I created 5 vivid custom wall murals printed to metallic paper that illuminate the beauty and complexity in their work. These murals anchor the installation making a strong visual statement. In addition, 35 standalone pieces were created that are a mix of custom photos and digital art from my Chicago collection.
