UPCYCLED CHICÂ
Steven Wilson is nothing if not imaginative. Case in point: His framed art pieces cleverly fashioned from up-cycled luxury bags, boxes, silk scarves and handbags. The North Carolina artist deconstructs the boxes and bags, creating canvases for his creations. He adds custom-designed embroidery directly through the materials, punching up their graphics while delivering intriguing texture. As finishing touches, select appliquĂ©s, patches and butterflies are stitched out individually and placed onto each piece to complete the artist’s captivating compositions.Â
